Effective, if a little tedious.
My technique was to first confirm that there was nothing saying
"math_sin" anywhere in the repo (trust but verify - doesn't hurt to do
a quick "git grep"), then to search mathmodule.c for "sin(", since
searching for "sin" on its own gave way too many hits. That led me to
the definition of sinpi(), then to asin() and sin(), both being
defined using the FUNC1 template.
