<cmath> is supposed to place symbols in the std namespace, not the
global namespace.  The fact that sin() is put into the global
namespace when you include <cmath> is a bug in libstdc++.  If you
use '#include <math.h>' instead, these symbols *will* wind up in
the global namespace, but that approach is deprecated.

C99 requires it to be a macro, since that's the only way it can
correctly accept arguments of multiple types in C.
