Hi Roger - Replying to the four proposals you sent in one mail for easier discussion:
*** Make Math.hypot(x,y,z,...) variadic *** This sounds like a reasonable extension. Oddly, I haven't seen any other libraries support a variadic hypot function, but the use cases seem obvious enough. *** Math.cbrt *** This was considered, but wasn't above the line of what was in the proposed Math extensions. What use case do you have in mind? *** Rename Math.sign to Math.signum *** There isn't overwhelming precedent in either direction here. Java and Matlab are signum, .NET and Python (numpy) and Mathematica are sign. C has a different but related copysign. To the extent there is precedent, it seems slightly in favor of 'sign', and it's slightly less cryptic. *** More constants on Number *** EPSILON would be a sensible addition - I am aware of use cases in estimating error bounds. For MIN_NORMAL, MAX_INTEGER and MAX_POWTWO, what use cases do you have in mind?
