+Name __poly - generates a polynomial from arguments
+
+Usage double __poly ( double x, int n, const double* c );
+
+Prototype in math.h
+
+Description __poly generates a polynomial in x, of degree n, with
+ coefficients c[0], c[1], ..., c[n]. For example, if n=4,
+ the generated polynomial is
+
+ c[4]*x^4 + c[3]*x^3 + c[2]*x^2 + c[1]*x + c[0]
+
+ The polynomial is calculated using Horner's method:
+
+ polynom = (..((x*c[n] + c[n-1])*x + c[n-2])..)*x + c[0]
+
+Return value __poly returns the value of the polynomial as evaluated for
+ the given x.
+ A range error occurs if the result exceeds double range.
