"Maintaining" floating point functions such as sin(), cos(), etc -- well, those are extremely simple function calls to make to library functions that compilers already provide, so it wouldn't surprise me if they were written-once-never-touched-again functions. Extra size would come from the often dynamically loaded shared libraries -- ie. providing such functions would only barely increase the size of vim (although they could increase the runtime image size, but only if the functions were actually invoked). Whereas, requiring a vim to include the interfaces to python/ruby/pick-your-poison ... well, now you're talking real bloat (as in increasing the vim executable size).
