+	Floating-point arctangent.

+
+// The original C code, the long comment, and the constants below were
+// from http://netlib.sandia.gov/cephes/cmath/atan.c, available from
+// http://www.netlib.org/cephes/cmath.tgz.
+// The go code is a version of the original C.
+//
+// atan.c
+// Inverse circular tangent (arctangent)
+//
+// SYNOPSIS:
+// double x, y, atan();
+// y = atan( x );
+//
+// DESCRIPTION:
+// Returns radian angle between -pi/2 and +pi/2 whose tangent is x.
+//
+// Range reduction is from three intervals into the interval from zero to 0.66.
+// The approximant uses a rational function of degree 4/5 of the form
+// x + x**3 P(x)/Q(x).
+//
+// ACCURACY:
+//                      Relative error:
+// arithmetic   domain    # trials  peak     rms
