Hmm. As far as I know, the library routines at least in glibc do not add
any accuracy.
The library routines _do_ add:
- "errno" handling
- extended range by reduction of the argument size
but not accuracy.
The way argument reduction is done affects accuracy for arguments
whose absolute value is larger than half pi.
