It doesn't need to be all things to all people. It's much better (IMO)
to cater very well for the more common cases, making the rarer
situations a bit harder (but still perfectly doable).

If you think trigonometry is rare, you must not do much graphics.

Not a lot, no. I don't think a particularly large proportion of
professional developers do - particularly managed developers.

The thing is, when you need a concise notation for mathematics, you *really*
need it, or the code becomes massively unreadable. And this happens to be
the first aspect of programming languages that was ever invented. It's a
pity to lose it.
