There would remain the problem that, if "value" was instantiated with the
other constructor:
---CUT---
public TDistributionImpl(double degreesOfFreedom, double inverseCumAccuracy) {
// ...
}
---CUT---
one could potentially have inconsistent behaviour since the
"inverseCumAccuracy" parameter cannot be recovered (it is only accessible
through a "protected" accessor method).

Yes, that would solve the problem.
