      2 {{alias}}( n )
      3     Computes the nth Lucas number.
      4 
      5     Lucas numbers follow the recurrence relation
      6 
      7       L_n = L_{n-1} + L_{n-2}
      8 
      9     with seed values L_0 = 2 and L_1 = 1.
     10 
     11     If `n` is greater than `76`, the function returns `NaN`, as larger Lucas
     12     numbers cannot be accurately represented due to limitations of double-
     13     precision floating-point format.
     14 
     15     If not provided a nonnegative integer value, the function returns `NaN`.
     16 
     17     If provided `NaN`, the function returns `NaN`.

     39     > y = {{alias}}( 4 )
     40     7
     41     > y = {{alias}}( 77 )
