Yes good point, sin and cos and family will be available just the same as Processing does it, without the Math object thingy. We'll probably just use the same code as processing.js, just didn't come around to do it.
Maybe we could add a special "wave" or "wavy" variable that contains the equivalent of sin(millis()/1000 ). To be determined whether it should wave from -1 to 1 or from 0 to 1, might depend how it behaves in the sketches.

Yes think CodeMirror provides something like that, so that's a good idea that could be done as well...
