A brief history:
I wrote the asinh and acosh functions for the math (or was it cmath?) for 
python 2.0. It fixed some problems of GVR implementation, but still it was far 
from perfect, and replaced shortly after.  My 1/4 cent tip: Do not rush --- 
find a good code.

Good point, so we need a better solution that fixes all cases
