I think I'd rather have accurate values for atanh near zero. Until
this came up here amongst us, there was not a single report (that I
can remember) complaining that atanh had the wrong branch cuts. That
tells me that most users don't care, but I think most users would be
annoyed if atanh near zero were not very accurate, because that's
something they can verify easily themselves.
