On a related note, I have figured out how to create fast argument reduction, 1e-16 accurate up to x=1e16 using the double double approach (emulating quadruple precision using doubles, but...

Awesome, thanks @arjenmarkus ! I tried to edit your comments to fold the long code, but GitHub does not allow that. We can either put these into LFortran, or we...

I think for sin/cos in particular, compiles are usually clever enough to internally convert code like: ``` a = sin(x) b = cos(x) ``` to something like: ``` call sincos(x,...

It was @vansnyder's proposal. Van, do you know why it was rejected?

Thanks @vansnyder for the updated document. Yes, that is our goal to have stdlib organized as modules with coherent set of procedures and documented in a Standard compatible way. Thanks...

@ivan-pi nice find. Initially indeed we should focus on functionality, but later our goal should definitely be to be as fast or faster than Julia. It might be a nice...

Note that `argparse` was the second attempt at argument parsing in Python. The first module was `optparse`, but it was too limiting, so a lot of people ended up using...

Yes, it's all about reducing the burden on both stdlib maintainers, and stdlib users and reviewers (often times but not always the same people). I can see only two ways...

Yes, a single person in charge is the best. Until we can find such a person, then let's do a collection of people as partial maintainers (as we do now)...

@jvdp1 I share your concerns, and that's why I opened up this issue. I think you are saying not to merge too quickly to the experimental part of stdlib. You...
