Metapost could possibly be extended to provide all of the functions
in the standard math library. In fact, it would be nice if there be
some hook to `link' to additional functions, written in C or in Fortran,
for example. (I regularly use the complex error function.)
Maybe this could be possible in luatex, made available to metapost
through some communication pipe?
