Can we please *not* add such notes? They don't really add value, the lack of a long double prototype at the beginning of the man page is indicator enough. They do add just another thing to keep track of when adding the support though. Joerg

Then create a bunch of MLINKS to a generic 'This function isn't supported' page. Since the implementors would need to create a real man page or real link, this seems to be to be less likely to cause confusion than notes everywhere that grow stale. Warner
