      2 {{alias}}( x )
      3     Relative error exponential.
      4 
      5     When `x` is near zero,
      6 
      7         e^x - 1
      8 
      9     can suffer catastrophic cancellation (i.e., significant loss of precision).
     10     This function avoids the loss of precision when `x` is near zero.

     14     x: number
     15         Input value.

     19     y: number
     20         Function value.

     22     Examples
     23     --------
     24     > var y = {{alias}}( 0.0 )
     25     1.0
     26     > y = {{alias}}( 1.0 )
     27     ~1.718
     28     > y = {{alias}}( -1.0 )
     29     ~0.632
     30     > y = {{alias}}( NaN )
     31     NaN
