Also, if I can brag a little, I think the only other implementation of
the complex arc-trig functions that is as accurate are the most recent
boost library implementations, and then only because I submitted bug
fixes to them.

I also found a bug in the Hull, Fairgrieve, and Tang algorithm for
cacos/cacaosh, which was faulty in certain extreme cases.  This bug is
documented here:
