You'll need something different from CASE_MATHFN - these are a different 
kind of functions that need handling in a different way, because they are 
parametrized over certain *pairs* of types, rather than over a single 
type.

(The main case for these being built-in is probably not folding for 
constant arguments - it's generating appropriate instructions when 
building with -fno-math-errno for processors that have appropriate 
narrowing instructions, such as Power ISA 2.07 or later, which I think 
means POWER8 or later.)
