/**
 * Approxiamtes atan over the range [0, 1]. Safe to flip output for negative input.
 *
 * Based on Michal Drobot's approximation from ShaderFastLibs, which in turn is based on
 * "Efficient approximations for the arctangent function," Rajan, S. Sichun Wang Inkol, R. Joyal, A., May 2006.
 * Adapted from ShaderFastLibs under MIT License.
 *
 * Chosen for the following characteristics over range [0, 1]:
 * - basically no error at 0 and 1, important for getting around range limit (naive atan2 via atan requires infinite range atan)
 * - no visible artifacts from first-derivative discontinuities, unlike latitude via range-reduced sqrt asin approximations (at equator)
 *
 * The original code is x * (-0.1784 * abs(x) - 0.0663 * x * x + 1.0301);
 * Removed the abs() in here because it isn't needed, the input range is guaranteed as [0, 1] by how we're approximating atan2.
