#' Create a Cauchy distribution
#'
#' Note that the Cauchy distribution is the student's t distribution
#' with one degree of freedom. The Cauchy distribution does not have
#' a well defined mean or variance. Cauchy distributions often appear
#' as priors in Bayesian contexts due to their heavy tails.
#'
#' @param location The location parameter. Can be any real number. Defaults
#'   to `0`.
#' @param scale The scale parameter. Must be greater than zero (?). Defaults
#'   to `1`.
#'
#' @return A `Cauchy` object.

#' @details
#'
#'   We recommend reading this documentation on
#'   <https://alexpghayes.github.io/distributions3/>, where the math
#'   will render with additional detail and much greater clarity.
#'
#'   In the following, let \eqn{X} be a Cauchy variable with mean
#'   `location =` \eqn{x_0} and `scale` = \eqn{\gamma}.
#'
#'   **Support**: \eqn{R}, the set of all real numbers
#'
#'   **Mean**: Undefined.
#'
#'   **Variance**: Undefined.
#'
#'   **Probability density function (p.d.f)**:
#'
#'   \deqn{
#'     f(x) = \frac{1}{\pi \gamma \left[1 + \left(\frac{x - x_0}{\gamma} \right)^2 \right]}
#'   }{
#'     f(x) = 1 / (\pi \gamma (1 + ((x - x_0) / \gamma)^2)
#'   }
#'
#'   **Cumulative distribution function (c.d.f)**:
#'
#'   \deqn{
#'     F(t) = \frac{1}{\pi} \arctan \left( \frac{t - x_0}{\gamma} \right) +
#'       \frac{1}{2}
#'   }{
#'     F(t) = arctan((t - x_0) / \gamma) / \pi + 1/2
#'   }
#'
#'   **Moment generating function (m.g.f)**:
#'
#'   Does not exist.
