I understand your desire to add additional functions. However, one could ask, where would it stop and how useful it would actually be? In other words, is it necessary? I always tell others that our goal is to **fully support the openCypher specifications first**, then possibly more later. As Neo4j created that spec. and is representative of Cypher, look at Neo4j when the openCypher specification is not clear or ambiguous. After that, look to PostgreSQL, as many users of AGE may be PostgreSQL users. https://neo4j.com/docs/cypher-manual/current/functions/ https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/functions-math.html If neither include those functions, I am hard pressed to add them to AGE. Meaning, there needs to be a good justification for adding them, especially if they are trivial to implement. For example, The secant of an angle, **sec(a)**, is **1/cos(a)** The square of a value, **sqr(3)**, is **3^2** These, in my opinion, are unnecessary. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
