What I meant was: you can send patches to *fix* the uses of sincos without
needing to file associated bugs; a patch known to expose latent bugs as
testsuite failures is unlikely to be approved. And then propose optimized
sincos once the latent bugs (that optimized sincos would expose) are
fixed. I don't think these latent bugs should be that hard to fix, and as
you've found there are already relevant testcases in the testsuite for
them.
