A&S 13.6.13 tells us that

1F1(1,2,x) = 2 * exp(x/2) * sinh(x/2) / x

but

(%i72) hgfred([1],[2],x);
(%o72) (sqrt(%pi)*bessel_i(1/2,x/2)*%e^(x/2))/sqrt(x)

I think (%o72) isn't wrong, but I don't think it's
what we want.

    ev(%o72,besselexpand:true) will produce what you want.

    We could also add this as a special case, if that's what people really want.

    This isn't a bug and there is a workaround. I'll close the bug.
