.SH DESCRIPTION
Calculate the square root of a given complex number,
2007-04-24 19:11:01 +00:00
with non-negative real part, and
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
with a branch cut along the negative real axis.

(That means that \fIcsqrt(\-1+eps*I)\fP will be close to I while
\fIcsqrt(\-1\-eps*I)\fP will be close to \-I, \fIif eps\fP is a small positive
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
real number.)
