[Bug manual/1424] New: ctan.3 and ctanh.3 man pages are wrong.

I think I am being a good citizen here:
The docs say:
The complex hyperbolic tangent function tanh(z) is defined as
cosh(z)/sinh(z).
The complex tangent function ctan(z) is defined as ccos(z)/csin(z).
In High School over 50 years ago we learnt the mnemonic:
sohcahtoa
which means sin = opposite / hypotenuse
cos = adjacent / hypotenuse
tan = opposite / adjacent
This means that tan = sin / cos
Unless the rules have changed, lately?
Seems to be a problem in all the docs that I tried.
