r"""
Compute the Gosper's normal form of ``f`` and ``g``.
Given relatively prime univariate polynomials ``f`` and ``g``,
rewrite their quotient to a normal form defined as follows:
.. math::
\frac{f(n)}{g(n)} = Z \cdot \frac{A(n) C(n+1)}{B(n) C(n)}
where ``Z`` is an arbitrary constant and ``A``, ``B``, ``C`` are
monic polynomials in ``n`` with the following properties:
1. `\gcd(A(n), B(n+h)) = 1 \forall h \in \mathbb{N}`
2. `\gcd(B(n), C(n+1)) = 1`
3. `\gcd(A(n), C(n)) = 1`
This normal form, or rational factorization in other words, is a
crucial step in Gosper's algorithm and in solving of difference
equations. It can be also used to decide if two hypergeometric
terms are similar or not.
This procedure will return a tuple containing elements of this
factorization in the form ``(Z*A, B, C)``.
