Description: Extra family objects in "weird" scenarios, particularly
        logistic or log-linear model with unbounded or
        non-binary/non-integer outcomes. Provides binomial_extra() and
        poisson_extra() as generalizations of binomial() and poisson().
        The use of canonical link with the corresponding working
        likelihood in glm() ensures convexity, making model fitting
        reliable and independent of starting value. Robert WM
        Wedderburn (1974) <doi:10.1093/biomet/61.3.439> and Peter
        McCullagh (1983) <doi:10.1214/aos/1176346056> justified this
        method to fit generalized linear (mean) models with
        quasi-/working likelihood.
