Mario, the algorithm looks quite similar to the Newton
method you have used for functional inverses for
expanding tan and tanh. We could also expand `sin/cos`.
Which one do think should be faster?

Also, can the convergence of the method be proven?
I could not find any reference to it (except the algorithm
in Computer Arithmetic by Paul Zimmerman).
