J3 already has the degree intrinsics on its list for the next standard 
(18-139r1, 18-272r1), largely due to their widespread existing 
implementation and use.  A case for the other intrinsics mentioned would 
have to be made using different arguments. (I am not a mathematician, 
but I had never heard of expm1 or logp1, and don't recall a single 
request for rsqrt from a customer during my decades as a vendor. This is 
not an argument against them, just saying I'd want to see a stronger 
case than FOMO.)
