[issue29282] Fused multiply-add: proposal to add math.fma()

[Juraj Sukop]

Juraj Sukop added the comment:

I would say because it has wide applicability, especially considering the amount of code it adds. It is similar in spirit to `copysign` or `fsum` which are already there and C99 includes it anyway. For simpler things like dot product or polynomial evaluation importing Numpy might be too much of an dependency.
