BTW, that's basically the same stuff as in math.q, with some things
added that are built-in in Q, and making use of POSIX C math routines
where possible. (Some of these have special cases where the result
becomes complex; I'll deal with those after I added the complex type.)

My idea for the complex type is to provide both rectangular (x+:y) and
polar (r<:a) representations, with all the necessary machinery to make
the arithmetic and other functions work with either, as well as explicit
conversions between the two. Does that sound useful? I really like that
feature on my HP calc.
