Corner asymptotics of the Schwarz--Christoffel map #
At a real boundary point p carrying total exponent t > -1, the Schwarz--Christoffel integrand is
asymptotic to C * (z - p) ^ t, where C is the nonzero prevertex coefficient. This file
integrates that derivative asymptotic and identifies the first-order power law of the normalized
primitive:
F z - F p ~ (C / (t + 1)) * (z - p) ^ (t + 1).
The limit is taken through the whole upper half-plane. In particular, it records both the vanishing order at the corner and its leading direction, information needed to identify the boundary chain of a Schwarz--Christoffel map with a polygon.

Leading boundary asymptotic of the Schwarz--Christoffel primitive. At a real point whose
total exponent t is greater than -1, subtracting its boundary value and dividing by
(z - p) ^ (t + 1) tends, through the whole upper half-plane, to the integrand's nonzero leading
coefficient divided by t + 1. Coincident prevertices contribute through the sum of all their
exponents at p.
Thus the primitive has the expected power law
F z - F p ~ (C / (t + 1)) * (z - p) ^ (t + 1) at the corner.
Leading corner asymptotic of the Schwarz--Christoffel primitive. At an indexed
prevertex whose total exponent is greater than -1, the canonical boundary value in
tendsto_schwarzChristoffelPrimitive_sub_boundary_div_cpow is its Schwarz--Christoffel vertex.
