Hmm. I'm not sure this is such a terrific idea: each function has its own argument reduction (e.g. to [0, pi/4], [0, pi/8] or even [0, some weird constant that looks arbitrary but just happens to be exactly representable in binary]). You really don't want double rounding, which is what would happen with sin(reduce(x)). Andrew.
