[PD] expr "copysign" function doesn't seem to work

[Alexandre Torres Porres]

I can't get imodf($f1) to load into expr either, and it's one of the listed
functions in the website, it doesn't seem to be the same problem with
"copysig". It's on my list to report soon, but if anyone finds a way to
load it please let me know. cheers
