These functions compute the designated inverse hyperbolic
functions for real arguments.

These functions inherit much of their error from log1p
described in exp(3M). On a VAX, acosh is accurate to about
3 _\bu_\bl_\bps, asinh and atanh to about 2 _\bu_\bl_\bps. An _\bu_\bl_\bp is one _\bUnit
in the _\bLast _\bPlace carried.

Acosh returns the reserved operand on a VAX if the argument
is less than 1.
Atanh returns the reserved operand on a VAX if the argument
has absolute value bigger than or equal to 1.
