Half in jest -- and therefore half seriously. Of course I can easily 
form cosh, sinh etc out of exp but it would be nice to have them 
built-in. It would be good to check elaborate 'trigonometric' 
simplifications (does 'trigonometric' apply to hyperbolic functions?) at 
general values of variables rather than values specially chosen to ease 
the calculations.
