SYNOPSIS
sech(x [,eps])
TYPES
x real
eps nonzero real, defaults to epsilon()
return real
DESCRIPTION
Calculate the sech of x to the nearest or next to nearest multiple of
epsilon, with absolute error less than .75 * abs(eps).
sech(x) = 2/(exp(x) + exp(-x))
EXAMPLE
> print sech(1, 1e-5), sech(1, 1e-10), sech(1, 1e-15), sech(1, 1e-20)

unlike sin and cos, x must be real
eps > 0
