Comment (by kcrisman):

 Just one point - almost certainly some of those digits are 'extra' from
 Python.  Compare (after this):
 {{{
 sage: sec(1.+i)
 0.498337030555187 + 0.591083841721045*I
 sage: sec(complex(1,1))
 (0.49833703055518686+0.5910838417210451j)
 sage: sec(CDF(complex(1,1)))
 0.498337030555 + 0.591083841721*I
 }}}
 Interesting.

 Here is something else I don't know what to do with.
 {{{
 sage: arccot(1.+i)
 arccot(1.00000000000000 + 1.00000000000000*I)  # in SR
 sage: cot(1.+i)
 0.217621561854403 - 0.868014142895925*I
 }}}
 One would think this should be the same type of output.

 That said, `SR` is useful for some other cases of exact input.

 I'm wondering whether we want to try to fix all of this here, though.
