[swift-evolution] TrigonometricFloatingPoint/MathFloatingPoint protocol?

[Adrian Zubarev]

I’m not sure how I would feel about this. To be honest I’d avoid such additional changes from the stdlib, because they really don’t belong there. Instead some `Math` module/package would be a better fit than clustering everything into stdlib until we end up also adding UI stuff.

Furthermore, I don’t think a function would make any sense here. It really should be a computed property.

How would people feel about adding a protocol

protocol MathFloatingPoint:FloatingPoint
{
    func sin() -> Self
    func cos() -> Self
    func tan() -> Self
    func asin() -> Self
    func acos() -> Self
    func atan() -> Self

    func ln() -> Self
    func log(base:Self) -> Self
    func pow(exponent:Self) -> Self
    func exp() -> Self
}

to the standard library? Float and Double would then be made to conform by default using Swift implementations instead of having to import Glibc / Darwin and writing the extensions, depending on platform.
