Landon Curt Noll fdbf53d7e8 add vercos(), avercos(), covercos(), acovercos()
Improved trig help files.

Added new vercos(x, [,eps]) for versed cosine and covercos(x, [,eps])
for inverse versed cosine.

Added new avercos(x, [,eps]) for inverse versed cosine and acovercos(x, [,eps])
for inverse coversed cosine.

NAME
sin - trigonometric sine
SYNOPSIS
sin(x [,eps])
TYPES
x number (real or complex)
eps 0 < real < 1, defaults to epsilon()
return number
DESCRIPTION
Calculate the sine of x to a multiple of eps with error less in
absolute value than .75 * eps.
EXAMPLE
; print sin(1, 1e-5), sin(1, 1e-10), sin(1, 1e-15), sin(1, 1e-20)
0.84147 0.8414709848 0.841470984807896 0.84147098480789650665
; print sin(2 + 3i, 1e-5), sin(2 + 3i, 1e-10)
9.1545-4.16891i 9.1544991469-4.16890696i
; pi = pi(1e-20)
; print sin(pi/6, 1e-10), sin(pi/2, 1e-10), sin(pi, 1e-10)
0.5 1 0
LIMITS
0 < eps < 1
