removed? In which draft was it present?
There were references to tanPi in 1.4.1 through 1.6.0 (and perhaps
others).
It was referenced, but it wasn't in the table (at least for 1.5.0).
As I said, we had to stop the list at some point.
Then why was rSqrt added? As rSqrt(x) is powr(x,-0.5) (and -0.5
is representable in both binary and decimal), this function is
completely useless.
