according to section 6.2 of
https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~smwatt/pub/reprints/2000-sigsam-according.pdf
acosh(z) = +-i acos(z)
with + when Im(z)>0 or Im(z)==0 && Re(z)<=1
i guess the Im(z)==+0 && Re(z)>1 case is tricky with ieee -0.0 as it
depends on if sqrt(-z) is i or -i for z=1, which depends on if pure
reals are treated specially sqrt(-1)==i or as sqrt(-1-0i)==-i, in the
latter case the current code looks right to me, just the comment wrong.
