Subject: sqrt with negative arg.

A few hours ago, the documentation of sqrt in numbers.texi was
changed from saying that it returns a NaN to saying that it signals a
domain-error. It definitely returns a NaN on my machine. What about
the following, which I could install if we agree on it:

@defun sqrt arg
This returns the square root of @var{arg}. If @var{arg} is negative,
! it signals a @code{domain-error} error.
@end defun

@defun sqrt arg
This returns the square root of @var{arg}. If @var{arg} is negative,
! @code{sqrt} could return a NaN or signal a @code{domain-error} error,
! depending on the implementation.
@end defun
