Discussion:
Table 80 lists the contents of the <cmath> header. It does not
list abs(). However, 26.5, paragraph 6, which lists added
signatures present in <cmath>, does say that several overloads
of abs() should be defined in <cmath>.
Proposed resolution:
Add abs to Table 80. Also, remove the parenthetical list
of functions "(abs(), div(), rand(), srand())" from 29.6 [numarray],
paragraph 1.
[Copenhagen: Modified proposed resolution so that it also gets rid of that vestigial list of functions in paragraph 1.]
Rationale:
All this DR does is fix a typo; it's uncontroversial. A separate question is whether we're doing the right thing in putting some overloads in <cmath> that we aren't also putting in <cstdlib>. That's issue 323(i).
