This is wrong. The `abs(s**2) > 1` condition should be recognised to always hold, since `re(s) > 1`. I.e. the test should not be changed.

The laplace transform integral definition only converges for `re(s) > 1`. For other `s` the function has to be continued analytically, the answer you get depends on the path of continuation. (So the other piecewise branch not agreeing with alpha is ok, but it should not show up anyway.)

`atanh(1/s) == acoth(s)` explains the remaining difference.
