I interpreted Joseph's response to your earlier suggestion of the same as it to be acceptable to common these tables and constants into a future submission of a combined sinf/cosf/sincosf.

Raji is looking into that approach.

As for cosf, I figured committing a good cosf now is better than waiting for a perfect sinf/cosf/sincosf.  Unless there are strong objections?

(FYI, for some reason, I'm not receiving my own posts back to my inbox, so I have been unable to reply to them.  This seems like a recent change in behavior.)
