      2 {{alias}}( p, μ, b )
      3     Evaluates the quantile function for a Laplace distribution with scale
      4     parameter `b` and location parameter `μ` at a probability `p`.
      5 
      6     If `p < 0` or `p > 1`, the function returns `NaN`.
      7 
      8     If provided `NaN` as any argument, the function returns `NaN`.
      9 
     10     If provided `b <= 0`, the function returns `NaN`.
