30* If this offends more traditional mathematicians, then *

47* If -1: low points to the 1/LITTLENUM_RADIX littlenum. *

70* Since we can (& do) meet with exponents like 10^5000, it *
71* is silly to make a table of ~ 10,000 entries, one for each *
72* power of 10. We keep a table where item [n] is a struct *
73* FLONUM_FLOATING_POINT representing 10^(2^n). We then *
74* multiply appropriate entries from this table to get any *
75* particular power of 10. For the example of 10^5000, a table *
76* of just 25 entries suffices: 10^(2^-12)...10^(2^+12). *
