Thanks!

I think this fails to give the desired result for negative zero.
Should probably be signbit(cimag(z)) or similar.

If there's a way to adjust the input to cacos to avoid having to patch
up after it returns based on a flag saved before the call, that would
make it more efficient I think (no need to spill/reload), but it's not
a big deal if not.

Also, as a style matter, musl codebase generally doesn't use _Bool;
rather just int for flags/boolean values.
