/**
* Returns the differential entropy of a Weibull distribution.

* @param {PositiveNumber} k - shape parameter
* @param {PositiveNumber} lambda - scale parameter
* @returns {number} entropy
*
* @example
* var v = entropy( 1.0, 1.0 );
* // returns 1.0
*
* @example
* var v = entropy( 4.0, 12.0 );
* // returns ~2.532
*
* @example
* var v = entropy( 8.0, 2.0 );
* // returns ~0.119
*
* @example
* var v = entropy( 1.0, -0.1 );
* // returns NaN
*
* @example
* var v = entropy( -0.1, 1.0 );
* // returns NaN
*
* @example
* var v = entropy( 2.0, NaN );
* // returns NaN
*
* @example
* var v = entropy( NaN, 2.0 );
* // returns NaN
