Janus,
I agree that "Inverse hyperbolic *" is better than "Hyperbolic arc*"
(when I was taught hyperbolic functions and their inverses some 45 years
ago, they were denoted ch, sh, and th and the inverses argch, argsh,
and argth, I have no idea about the today fashion!-).
However the inverse hyperbolic functions appear in many places and
not in non-Euclidian geometry only, so I am not very fond
(to say the least) of "hyperbolic area". Why not
"computes the inverse @var{X} of the hyperbolic * (@code{*(X)})."
(or any suitable translation from Frenglish to native English!).
Thanks for the patch,
Dominique
