    More documentation.
    
    o Derive the value of asin(2), lest we forget again why it is the way
      it is.
    o Use the formulas from the CLHS in the docstrings.

+;; What is the value of asin(2)?  Here is a derivation.
+;;
+;; asin(2) = -i*log(i*2+sqrt(-3))
+;;         = -i*log(2*i+sqrt(3)*i)
+;;         = -i*(log(2+sqrt(3)) + i*pi/2)
+;;         = pi/2 - i*log(2+sqrt(3))
+;;
+;; Note that this differs from asin(2+0.0*i) because we support signed
+;; zeroes.
+;;
+;; asin(2+0*i) = -i*log(i*(2+0*i) + sqrt(1-(4+0*i)))
+;;             = -i*log((2*i - 0) + sqrt(-3-0*i))
+;;             = -i*log(-0 + 2*i - sqrt(3)*i)
+;;             = -i*log(-0 + i*(2-sqrt(3)))
+;;             = -i*(log(2-sqrt(3)) + i*pi/2)
+;;             = pi/2 - i*log(2-sqrt(3))
+;;             = pi/2 + i*log(2+sqrt(3))
+;;
+;; The last equation follows because (2-sqrt(3)) = 1/(2+sqrt(3)).
+;; Hence asin(2) /= asin(2+0*i).
+;;
+;; Also
+;;
+;; asin(2-0*i) = -i*log(i*(2-0*i) + sqrt(1-(4-0*i)))
+;;             = -i*log((2*i + 0) + sqrt(-3+0*i))
+;;             = -i*log(0 + 2*i + sqrt(3)*i)
+;;             = -i*log(0 + i*(2+sqrt(3)))
+;;             = -i*(log(2+sqrt(3)) + i*pi/2)
+;;             = pi/2 + i*log(2+sqrt(3))
+;;
+;; Hence asin(2) = asin(2-0.0*i).
+;;
+;; Similar derivations will show that asin(-2) = asin(-2 + 0.0*i) and
+;; asin(-2+0.0*i) is different from asin(-2-0.0*i) because of the
+;; branch cut, of course.
