abs(x):

   absolute value of x (modulus if x is complex). Polynomials, power series and
rational functions are not allowed.  Contrary to most transcendental functions,
an integer is not converted to a real number before applying abs.

   The library syntax is gabs(x,prec).

The documentation indicates that polynomials are not allowed, but the
example shows that this is not true. It even might produce a useful
result. However, this should be documented. Shalom, Michael
