Hello, 

I was unable to get the rezult of the following 
simple example (looks like an infinite loop)

 << Calculus`Limit`

Limit[Integrate[q^2*r^2*(Cos[q*r] - Sin[q*r]/(q*r)), r],r -> Infinity]]


Another question is the similar integral 

Integrate[r^2*(Cos[q*r] - Sin[q*r]/(q*r)), {r, 
0,Infinity},Assumptions->Im[q]==0]
    
Mathematica gives zero here, but we were expecting 
something proportional to DiracDelta here.
