I noticed that sqrt(int), sqrt(uint) etc. were added to std.math in DMD 2.049
so that you don't have to cast to float or real to calculate simple things like
sqrt(2).

Is there any reason why integer versions haven't been added for other math
functions, like all the trig functions, the exp/log family etc.? These would be
useful for the very same reason, and inconsistency isn't very good for library
usability.
