We are considering removing some functions from the standard math lib,
either because we think few people use them or because they are trivially
implemented without the library. The current list is this:

- sinh, cosh, tanh: (They are quite specialized, on par with several
other functions offered by external libraries, such as lhf's mathlibx.)

Probably can be removed. 

- deg, rad, pow: trivially done without the library.

 

Personally I would keep these because they seem to round a math library out. I know they are simple, but to the user if they are there they are free.
