In economics and health services research we often use hyperbolic trig functions--particularly the hyperbolic arc sine function--to transform skewed data with 0s. While it is possible (and not too difficult) to code up asinh manually (ln(x+sqrt(x^2+1))), it would be great if it could be added to the library of built-in functions.
