How does one go about implementing floating point functions?
I have written a subset of a compiler and want to add floating point
a floating point library.
The question is- How does one go about implementing floating point
functions.
	I know if you wanted to implement sine, a quick and dirty way
	would be to have a table of values and interpolate those
	values that you didn't have.
	but, NO!!! that is the ignorant way. anyways, please give me
	ideas.
	(a maclaurin series maybe?!?)
