NAME
versin - versed sine
SYNOPSIS
versin(x [,eps])
TYPES
x number (real or complex)
eps 0 < real < 1, defaults to epsilon()
return number

Calculate the versed sine of x to a multiple of eps with error less in
absolute value than .75 * eps.
The versed sine function is sometimes called vers, sometimes called ver,
may be defined as:
versin(x) = 1 - cos(x)
