My mistake again.  I thought Ed was simply asking for:

 float std::cosf( float );

which is required by C99.  Having that signature (not any overloads  
of it) in the name of "C99 compatibility" does not seem dubious to  
me.  I'm not sure where we started discussing overloading cosf, nor  
with what signature.
