if a function is supplied as part of the IEEE 754-2008 implementation.

A C implementation may say that it conforms to IEEE 754-2008 without
any of the recommended functions. The sin() function would still be
provided by the C implementation, as a requirement from the ISO C
standard, but it wouldn't be part of the IEEE 754-2008 implementation.
