Jim mentioned making tan a machine_func. This would definitely be slower than what it is now. I'm not sure what you really gain by doing so, other than a sense of purity.

I agree with that statement.

Again, I haven't heard anyone ask why #puts# or #printf# or #?# aren't in std/io.e.

I don't like #?#

Anyways, the reason is - speed. IO is pretty basic and it's something we have to do a lot. Better make it as fast as possible.

The same applies to tan(). But I've never used it, so I don't care how slow it is.
