hi,
It sounds like we're converging to a solution whereby they do get defaults, but you also get a MINIMAL pragma warning you you probably want to override them for manual Floating instances, so users will get a warning not an error if they omit implementations, and switching over will not hurt existing code.
That warning should serve much the same role as the deprecation cycle would and no existing user code will break.
i assume "they" above means all proposed functions (not only log1p and expm1). if so, i am +1, if not, i am still +1. cheers, tobias florek
