Reference issue
Closes gh-13535
What does this implement/fix?
This stops TOMS748 from performing newton iteration after secant interpolation as suggested in gh-13535.
The relevant excerpt from the original paper is:

$A\neq 0$ ; otherwise it would have been "if $A=0$ , then $r_0 = ...$ ", but they wrote $r = ...$.
It's not immediately obvious, but reading closely looks like they meant for the iterative procedure to execute only if
Additional information
No tests are needed; the old tests were sufficient and they still pass.
@pvanmulbregt This implements your recommendation from gh-13535. Does this close the issue?
