It centres around a routine that prints out a table of 
minimum sample sizes (number of trials) for various probability thresholds:
*/
  void find_number_of_trials(double failures, double p);
/*`
First define a table of significance levels: these are the maximum 
acceptable probability that /failure/ or fewer events will be observed.
*/
  double alpha[] = { 0.5, 0.25, 0.1, 0.05, 0.01, 0.001, 0.0001, 0.00001 };
/*`
Confidence value as % is (1 - alpha) * 100, so alpha 0.05 == 95% confidence
that the desired number of failures will be observed.
The values range from a very low 0.5 or 50% confidence up to an extremely high
confidence of 99.999.

Much of the rest of the program is pretty-printing, the important part
is in the calculation of minimum number of trials required for each
value of alpha using:

  (int)ceil(negative_binomial::find_minimum_number_of_trials(failures, p, alpha[i]);

find_minimum_number_of_trials returns a double,
so `ceil` rounds this up to ensure we have an integral minimum number of trials.

   // required number of failures DOES exceed "failures".
