So my question is---is it reasonable to import these floating-point functions into Gambit to make better versions of the standard functions?
Here's the POSIX standard for math.h, which includes 32 and 64-bit versions of the trigonometric functions, including the hyperbolic ones:

The Android version of that C header file is compliant (http://mobilepearls.com/labs/native-android-api/include/math.h). I can't find the iOS version, but I assume it's also compliant, as it'll likely be the same as the system one for OS X. Windows seems to lack the inverse hyperbolic functions, though:

I hope this helps.
