Landon Curt Noll a31078bbec Remove all RCS @(#) lines and RCS strings
Some folks might think: “you still use RCS”?!?  And we will say,
hey, at least we switched from SCCS to RCS back in … I think it was
around 1994 ... at least we are keeping up! :-) :-) :-)

Logs say that SCCS version 18 became RCS version 19 on 1994 March 18.

RCS served us well.  But now it is time to move on.   And so we are
switching to git.

Calc releases produce a lot of file changes.  In the 125 releases
of calc since 1996, when I started managing calc releases, there
have been 15473 file mods!

NAME
agd - inverse gudermannian function
SYNOPSIS
agd(z [,eps])
TYPES
z number (real or complex)
eps nonzero real, defaults to epsilon()
return number or infinite error value
DESCRIPTION
Calculate the inverse gudermannian of z to a nultiple of eps with
errors in real and imaginary parts less in absolute value than .75 * eps,
or an error value if z is very close to one of the one of the branch
points of agd(z)..
agd(z) is usually defined initially for real z with abs(z) < pi/2 by
one of the formulae
agd(z) = ln(sec(z) + tan(z))
= 2 * atanh(tan(z/2))
= asinh(tan(z)),
or as the integral from 0 to z of (1/cos(t))dt. For complex z, the
principal branch, approximated by gd(z, eps), has cuts along the real
axis outside -pi/2 < z < pi/2.
If z = x + i * y and abs(x) < pi/2, agd(z) is given by
agd(z) = atanh(sin(x)/cosh(y)) + i * atan(sinh(y)/cos(x)>
