At present I think that is the best we can do.

Incidentally the trig functions have various behaviors.

cot(0) => The number 0 isn't in the domain of cot
cot(%pi) => cot(%pi)
csc(%pi) => Division by 0

and ftr log(0) => log(0) has been generated

I'm inclined to think these should all trigger the domain-error message
(maybe rephrased, maybe not).

FWIW
