hi! has anyone implemented any functions in Gofer to do any of the following on Floats: sqrt exp log sin atan erf the sqrt is easy, but the limited support for Floats in Gofer means that the others are hard to do adequately. btw, i don't mind if you've use `primitive' to define them in the interpreter itself. even if you don't have code, hints would be good. i don't have problems with the numerical analysis, but the absence of functions to return the exponent and mantissa of a Float is a real problem. (perhaps Mark Jones might consider defining such functions a la Haskell in the next release?) many thanks! bert.
