/*
   Find triples (xi, sin(xi), cos(xi)) very close to machine numbers
   for use in the algorithm of [GB91]. See [Lut95] for a better way
   of calculating these, which we don't follow.

   The idea is that, by good fortune (or more persuasive arguments),
   there exist floating-point numbers xi that are very close to
   numbers of the form (i/N)(π/4). They are so close, in fact, that
   the exact binary expansion of (i/N)(π/4) is xi, followed by a
   bunch of zeroes, then the irrational, unpredictable part.

   Then, when we discretize the input for sin(x) to some xi + delta,
   the precomputed sin(xi) and cos(xi) can be stored as single
   floating-point numbers; the extra zeroes in the infinite-precision
   result mean that we get some precision for free. Compare with
   the constants for log-impl.myr or exp-impl.myr, where the constants
   require more space to be stored.
