I think the idea is not whether or not it's a good idea to have a math
library, but instead where to draw the line. More functions exist in
the world than what's implemented in the math library, and that's only
because someone has drawn a line before. And now, they are asking if
the line should/could be redrawn. So even if it's a math lib, I'm fine
with it having less code than what it currently has. It's only my
opinion, of course.
