Hi Kenny,
My use-case for fixed-point arithmetic is game development on embedded devices that lack FPUs. Native support for trigonometric functions is something I would definitely want.
I can see there could be a need for it. However, in my opinion, it would be out of the scope for a fixed point template to accurately and effectively implement trigonometric functions. Especially for game programming you would probably be better of interpolating values from a sinus table rather than calculating the exact value. Soren
