MetaPost doesn't know erf and other obscure functions

Metapost could possibly be extended to provide all of the functions in the standard math library. In fact, it would be nice if there be some hook to `link' to additional functions, written in C or in Fortran, for example. (I regularly use the complex error function.) Maybe this could be possible in luatex, made available to metapost through some communication pipe? Alan
