I understand about name space, but I still think that if you have standard libraries then
all Math functions should be located in a standard Math library.
This was one of the initial goals for having standard libraries.
Anything implemented in euphoria or via machine_func or machine_proc goes into the standard library. tan has always been a built-in. Likewise, puts is still built-in, and not located in std/io.e. I don't foresee tan (or, e.g., sin, sqrt) going anywhere.

While my preference would be to turn tan() into a machine_func() and expose it via std/math.e - for the same reasons that BRyan does, this would be breaking backwards compatibility with Euphoria 1.x, 2.x, 3.0, 3.1.1, 4.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.2, and 4.0.3.
