Description

For earlier discussion, see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/18271
This issue was labelled with: A-libs in the Rust repository
It would be nice if tgamma and lgamma_r were exposed via std::num::Float. The foreign function definitions for both are present in src/libstd/num/f{32,64}.rs, but they're not exposed in the standard library.

Research direction
Start with the foreign function definitions in src/libstd/num/f32.rs and src/libstd/num/f64.rs, then inspect std::num::Float and the earlier discussion in issue #18271. Done means tgamma and lgamma_r are exposed through the standard library interface.
