// The original C code, the long comment, and the constants below were
// from http://netlib.sandia.gov/cephes/cmath/atan.c, available from
// http://www.netlib.org/cephes/cmath.tgz.
// The go code is a version of the original C.
//
// atan.c
// Inverse circular tangent (arctangent)
//
// SYNOPSIS:
// double x, y, atan();
// y = atan( x );
//
// DESCRIPTION:
// Returns radian angle between -pi/2 and +pi/2 whose tangent is x.
//
// Range reduction is from three intervals into the interval from zero to 0.66.
// The approximant uses a rational function of degree 4/5 of the form
// x + x**3 P(x)/Q(x).
//
// ACCURACY:
//                      Relative error:
// arithmetic   domain    # trials  peak     rms
