As necessary, math functions were structured to use stubs, so that they can
be accelerated with assembly on any platform.
Technique used was minimax polynomial approximation using tables of
polynomial coefficients, with argument range reduction.

The tree's pretty inconsistent about single space vs double space
after a period in documentation. Make it consistently a single space,
per earlier decisions. This means contributors won't be confused by
misleading precedence.
This CL doesn't use go/doc to parse. It only addresses // comments.
