15:11 Feature #1535: New functions: argmin, argmax

11:25 Feature #1535: New functions: argmin, argmax

In most contexts they are written @argmin@ (or maybe @arg min@ with a space).

Amazingly it compiled first time, and... -
- Checked in.

I'll check in so we can test it.

16:11 Design #1525: CoCoA Manual: homogenize obsolete/obsolescent entries
