Could that be used to derive trigonometric functions with single distinct expressions?

The exp and ln are infinite series. Exp is roughly the infinite series for cos AND the infinite series for sin. Hiding that every op is an infinite series behind a name doesn’t make things free. It just makes even trivial ops like 1+2 vastly more work.
