    \title Generic Math Functions
    \ingroup funclists

    \brief The <QtMath> header file provides various math functions.

    These functions are partly convenience definitions for basic math operations
    not available in the C or Standard Template Libraries.

    The header also ensures some constants specified in POSIX, but not present
    in C++ standards (so absent from <math.h> on some platforms), are defined:

    \value M_E The base of the natural logarithms, e = exp(1)
    \value M_LOG2E The base-two logarithm of e
    \value M_LOG10E The base-ten logarithm of e
    \value M_LN2 The natural logarithm of two
    \value M_LN10 The natural logarithm of ten
    \value M_PI The ratio of a circle's circumference to diameter, \unicode{0x3C0}
    \value M_PI_2 Half M_PI, \unicode{0x3C0} / 2
    \value M_PI_4 Quarter M_PI, \unicode{0x3C0} / 4
    \value M_1_PI The inverse of M_PI, 1 / \unicode{0x3C0}
    \value M_2_PI Twice the inverse of M_PI, 2 / \unicode{0x3C0}
    \value M_2_SQRTPI Two divided by the square root of pi, 2 / \unicode{0x221A}\unicode{0x3C0}
    \value M_SQRT2 The square root of two, \unicode{0x221A}2
    \value M_SQRT1_2 The square roof of half, 1 / \unicode{0x221A}2
*/

    Returns the distance of a point (\a x, \a y) from the origin (0, 0).

    This is qSqrt(x * x + y * y), optimized.
    In particular, underflow and overflow may be avoided.

    Accepts any mix of numeric types, returning the same

    This is as for the two-argument and three-argument forms, supported by
    std::hypot(), but with as many numeric parameters as you care to pass to
    it. Uses \a first and each of the \a rest as coordinates, performing a
    calculation equivalent to squaring each, summing and returning the square
    root, save that underflow and overflow are avoided as far as possible.
