-	Floating-point hyperbolic tangent.
+// The original C code, the long comment, and the constants
+// below were from http://netlib.sandia.gov/cephes/cmath/sin.c,
+// available from http://www.netlib.org/cephes/cmath.tgz.
+// The go code is a simplified version of the original C.
+//      tanh.c
+//
+//      Hyperbolic tangent
+//
+// SYNOPSIS:
+//
+// double x, y, tanh();
+//
+// y = tanh( x );
+//
+// DESCRIPTION:
+//
+// Returns hyperbolic tangent of argument in the range MINLOG to MAXLOG.
+//      MAXLOG = 8.8029691931113054295988e+01 = log(2**127)
+//      MINLOG = -8.872283911167299960540e+01 = log(2**-128)
+//
+// A rational function is used for |x| < 0.625.  The form
+// x + x**3 P(x)/Q(x) of Cody & Waite is employed.
+// Otherwise,
+//      tanh(x) = sinh(x)/cosh(x) = 1  -  2/(exp(2x) + 1).
+//
+// ACCURACY:
+//
+//                      Relative error:
+// arithmetic   domain     # trials      peak         rms
