// expm1(x)
// Returns exp(x)-1, the exponential of x minus 1.
//
// Method
//   1. Argument reduction:
//      Given x, find r and integer k such that
//
//               x = k*ln2 + r,  |r| <= 0.5*ln2 ~ 0.34658
//
//      Here a correction term c will be computed to compensate
//      the error in r when rounded to a floating-point number.
//
//   2. Approximating expm1(r) by a special rational function on
//      the interval [0,0.34658]:
//      Since
//          r*(exp(r)+1)/(exp(r)-1) = 2+ r**2/6 - r**4/360 + ...
//      we define R1(r*r) by
//          r*(exp(r)+1)/(exp(r)-1) = 2+ r**2/6 * R1(r*r)
//      That is,
//          R1(r**2) = 6/r *((exp(r)+1)/(exp(r)-1) - 2/r)
//                   = 6/r * ( 1 + 2.0*(1/(exp(r)-1) - 1/r))
//                   = 1 - r**2/60 + r**4/2520 - r**6/100800 + ...
//      We use a special Reme algorithm on [0,0.347] to generate
//      a polynomial of degree 5 in r*r to approximate R1. The
//      maximum error of this polynomial approximation is bounded
//      by 2**-61. In other words,
//          R1(z) ~ 1.0 + Q1*z + Q2*z**2 + Q3*z**3 + Q4*z**4 + Q5*z**5
//      where   Q1  =  -1.6666666666666567384E-2,
//              Q2  =   3.9682539681370365873E-4,
//              Q3  =  -9.9206344733435987357E-6,
//              Q4  =   2.5051361420808517002E-7,
//              Q5  =  -6.2843505682382617102E-9;
//      (where z=r*r, and the values of Q1 to Q5 are listed below)
//      with error bounded by
//          |                  5           |     -61
//          | 1.0+Q1*z+...+Q5*z   -  R1(z) | <= 2
//          |                              |
//
//      expm1(r) = exp(r)-1 is then computed by the following
//      specific way which minimize the accumulation rounding error:
//                             2     3
//                            r     r    [ 3 - (R1 + R1*r/2)  ]
//            expm1(r) = r + --- + --- * [--------------------]
//                            2     2    [ 6 - r*(3 - R1*r/2) ]
//
//      To compensate the error in the argument reduction, we use
//              expm1(r+c) = expm1(r) + c + expm1(r)*c
//                         ~ expm1(r) + c + r*c
//      Thus c+r*c will be added in as the correction terms for
//      expm1(r+c). Now rearrange the term to avoid optimization
//      screw up:
//                      (      2                                    2 )
//                      ({  ( r    [ R1 -  (3 - R1*r/2) ]  )  }    r  )
//       expm1(r+c)~r - ({r*(--- * [--------------------]-c)-c} - --- )
//                      ({  ( 2    [ 6 - r*(3 - R1*r/2) ]  )  }    2  )
//                      (                                             )
//
//                 = r - E
//   3. Scale back to obtain expm1(x):
//      From step 1, we have
//         expm1(x) = either 2**k*[expm1(r)+1] - 1
//                  = or     2**k*[expm1(r) + (1-2**-k)]
//   4. Implementation notes:
//      (A). To save one multiplication, we scale the coefficient Qi
//           to Qi*2**i, and replace z by (x**2)/2.
//      (B). To achieve maximum accuracy, we compute expm1(x) by
//        (i)   if x < -56*ln2, return -1.0, (raise inexact if x!=inf)
//        (ii)  if k=0, return r-E
//        (iii) if k=-1, return 0.5*(r-E)-0.5
//        (iv)  if k=1 if r < -0.25, return 2*((r+0.5)- E)
//                     else          return  1.0+2.0*(r-E);
//        (v)   if (k<-2||k>56) return 2**k(1-(E-r)) - 1 (or exp(x)-1)
//        (vi)  if k <= 20, return 2**k((1-2**-k)-(E-r)), else
//        (vii) return 2**k(1-((E+2**-k)-r))
//
// Special cases:
//      expm1(INF) is INF, expm1(NaN) is NaN;
//      expm1(-INF) is -1, and
//      for finite argument, only expm1(0)=0 is exact.
//
// Accuracy:
//      according to an error analysis, the error is always less than
//      1 ulp (unit in the last place).
//
// Misc. info.
//      For IEEE double
//          if x >  7.09782712893383973096e+02 then expm1(x) overflow
//
// Constants:
// The hexadecimal values are the intended ones for the following
// constants. The decimal values may be used, provided that the
// compiler will convert from decimal to binary accurately enough
// to produce the hexadecimal values shown.
//

// Expm1 returns e**x - 1, the base-e exponential of x minus 1.
// It is more accurate than Exp(x) - 1 when x is near zero.
//
// Special cases are:
//
//	Expm1(+Inf) = +Inf
//	Expm1(-Inf) = -1
//	Expm1(NaN) = NaN
//
// Very large values overflow to -1 or +Inf.
