Forgive me. I would rewrite the structure,
switch x:
case GT_1:
__atan__Gt_1__(x)
case LT_1:
__atan__Lt_1__(x)
case IS_1:
a = gpi/4
case IS_n1:
a = -gpi/4
default:
__atan__(x)
or somesuch... way better... yes, there are some issues, but all workable
with some effort
Mark, if you are going to advocate for a feature, find a good use case,
this one is absurd. Where did the constants GT_1 etc, come from?
