Yes, Jim's comment is correct. This is a case where C++ takes advantage of
operator overloading to define abs() separately for each of int, long,
float, double, and long double. In C++ fabs and labs are unnecessary flesh.

Stroustrup says <cmath> and <math.h> are supposed to include
double abs(double);
Is that not true.
