Do we have a wiki page listing the functions in libm we are missing?
Having some kind of place to track progress and figure out what
exactly is needed is the first step to getting these APIs into shape.
Also, are there BSD licensed naive implementations of these functions
we can use? Would it be okay to have slow, but accurate versions of
these functions as a stopgap?
