We have in Ada a useful package: Ada.Numerics.Generic_Elementary_Functions
that works fine for floating point types.
Is there any reason not to include in Ada200x similar packages for generic
fixed and decimal types? It seems we ought to be able to compute logarithms,
square roots, etc. for numeric types other than floating point types, eh?
Would there be any reason not to expand the math functions beyond what is
already there? Math is pretty cheap to implement when compared to some of
the other suggested extensions to the language and it would definitely be
attractive to a given audience that might currently still be relying on
Fortran. (See also the discussion elsewhere about standard libraries...)
What math functions (or math branches) would be most desirable to add to the
language by way of some packages under Ada.Numerics?
