I agree. And running them on my x86-64, they execute so quickly (less 
than a second) that splitting them up is not really worth it. I think 
building takes longer, so perhaps we could split it up into <math.h> and 
<complex.h> functions? Or something like that - but I wouldn't go so far 
as to split it for each function.
