<br>elsewhere) trig/hyperbolic/math package has, but clearly, one can see the problem with adding that large a
<br>number of external functions.
<br>There is another problem with function name collision, which is another topic for another time
<br>of a detailed discussion elsewhere.
<br>So instead, I did what was suggested in the (prologue) commentary, that is: to increase the precision
<br>higher than one needs, and just use what precision is needed from that time on. More whitespace was added
<br>around that part of the section comments so it can more easily be seen what was written. If one want to use
<br>the SIN function and ignore the prologue (as far as intent), then they'll get what they programmed for.
<br>
<br>The code acknowledges that more precision is needed than what is wanted, so the proglogue for the
<br>REXX example does that with the '''showdigs''' variable, as the section and REXX code comments clearly
