Plotting these two for z = 1 + I y vs y is very instructive.

I've had to write some pretty complicated code to make
some other functions of mine continuous like LogGamma[] is.

Can anyone think of some 'automatic' way to remove unwanted
branch cut discontinuities in an arbitrary function of a complex argument?

(More specifically, suppose I have a real integrand  Re [f [c + I y] ], 
where c is fixed and
y is the integration variable, and f is complicated and has unwanted 
discontinuities due to cuts.
Since the integrator is adaptive ... ?)

Thanks,
