63 * *
64 * Since we can (& do) meet with exponents like 10^5000, it *
65 * is silly to make a table of ~ 10,000 entries, one for each *
66 * power of 10. We keep a table where item [n] is a struct *
67 * FLONUM_FLOATING_POINT representing 10^(2^n). We then *
68 * multiply appropriate entries from this table to get any *
69 * particular power of 10. For the example of 10^5000, a table *
70 * of just 25 entries suffices: 10^(2^-12)...10^(2^+12). *
