Re: transcendental functions broken?

["Jin S. Choi" <jsc@atype.com>]

Shouldn't floatnums be part of the default environment? These
functions ARE in r4rs.

    These procedures are part of every implementation that supports
    general real numbers; they compute the usual transcendental
    functions


And here's another question. Is there any way to do arithmetic with
the results of these functions without getting a warning?

Warning: invalid arguments
         (/ (sin 3) 1)
         (procedure wants: (&rest :number))
         (arguments are: (:extended-number :exact-integer))
