I don't really care, but at least the code and the docstring should be
consistent (and the docstring says that it uses the k>=1 formula).
Also, the wikipedia page does list the (1-p)**(k-1)*p formula for the
pmf, FWIW.

Those who actually use this stuff might want to chime in, but at least
right now there is an inconsistency between code and docstring.
