%
% \subsubsection{Work plan}
%
% As for many other functions, we filter out special cases in
% \cs{@@_ln_o:w}.  Then \cs{@@_ln_npos_o:w} receives a positive normal
% number, which we write in the form $a\cdot 10^{b}$ with $a\in[0.1,1)$.
%
% \emph{The rest of this section is actually not in sync with the code.
%   Or is the code not in sync with the section?}
%
% We are given a positive normal number, of the form $a\cdot 10^{b}$
% with $a\in[0.1,1)$.  To compute its logarithm, we find a small integer
% $5\leq c < 50$ such that $0.91 \leq a c / 5 < 1.1$, and use the
% relation
% \begin{equation*}
%   \ln (a \cdot 10^b) = b \cdot \ln (10) - \ln (c/5) + \ln (ac/5).
% \end{equation*}
% The logarithms $\ln(10)$ and $\ln(c/5)$ are looked up in a table.  The
% last term is computed using the following Taylor series of $\ln$ near
% $1$:
% \begin{equation*}
%   \ln\left(\frac{ac}{5}\right)
%   = \ln\left(\frac{1+t}{1-t}\right)
%   = 2t\left(1 + t^2 \left(\frac{1}{3} + t^2 \left(\frac{1}{5}
%         + t^2 \left(\frac{1}{7} + t^2 \left( \frac{1}{9} + \cdots
%           \right)\right)\right)\right)\right)
% \end{equation*}
% where $t=1-10/(ac+5)$.  We can now see one reason for the choice of
% $ac\sim 5$: then $ac+5=10(1-\epsilon)$ with $-0.05<\epsilon\leq
% 0.045$, hence
% \begin{equation*}
%   t = \frac{\epsilon}{1-\epsilon}
%   = \epsilon (1+\epsilon)(1+\epsilon^2)(1+\epsilon^4)\ldots,
% \end{equation*}
% is not too difficult to compute.

%   The Taylor series will be expressed in terms of
%   $t = (x-1)/(x+1) = 1 - 2/(x+1)$. We now compute the
%   quotient with extended precision, reusing some code
%   from \cs{@@_/_o:ww}. Note that $1+x$ is known exactly.
%
%   To reuse notations from \pkg{l3fp-basics}, we want to
%   compute $ A / Z $ with $ A = 2 $ and $ Z = x + 1 $.
%   In \pkg{l3fp-basics}, we considered the case where
%   both $A$ and $Z$ are arbitrary, in the range $[0.1,1)$,
%   and we had to monitor the growth of the sequence of
%   remainders $A$, $B$, $C$, etc. to ensure that no overflow
%   occurred during the computation of the next quotient.
%   The main source of risk was our choice to define the
%   quotient as roughly $10^9 \cdot A / 10^5 \cdot Z$: then
%   $A$ was bound to be below $2.147\cdots$, and this limit
%   was never far.
%
%   In our case, we can simply work with $10^8 \cdot A$ and
%   $10^4 \cdot Z$, because our reason to work with higher
%   powers has gone: we needed the integer $y \simeq 10^5 \cdot Z$
%   to be at least $10^4$, and now, the definition
%   $y \simeq 10^4 \cdot Z$ suffices.
%
%   Let us thus define $y = \left\lfloor 10^4 \cdot Z \right\rfloor + 1
%   \in ( 1.7 \cdot 10^4, 2.4 \cdot 10^4 ] $, and
%   \[
%   Q_{1}
%   =
%   \left\lfloor
%     \frac {\left\lfloor 10^8 \cdot A\right\rfloor} {y} - \frac{1}{2}
%   \right\rfloor.
%   \]
%   (The $1/2$ comes from how e\TeX{} rounds.) As for division, it is
%   easy to see that $Q_{1} \leq 10^4 A / Z$, \emph{i.e.}, $Q_{1}$
%   is an underestimate.
%
%   Exactly as we did for division, we set $B = 10^4 A - Q_{1}Z$. Then
%   \begin{align*}
%     10^4 B
%     \leq
%     A_{1}A_{2}.A_{3}A_{4}
%     - \left( \frac{A_{1}A_{2}}{y} - \frac{3}{2} \right) 10^4 Z
%     \leq
%     A_{1}A_{2} \left( 1 - \frac{10^4 Z}{y} \right) + 1 + \frac{3}{2} y
%     \leq
%     10^8 \frac{A}{y} + 1 + \frac{3}{2} y
%   \end{align*}
%   In the same way, and using $1.7\cdot 10^4\leq y\leq 2.4\cdot 10^4$,
%   and convexity, we get
%   \begin{align*}
%     10^4 A &= 2\cdot 10^4 \\
%     10^4 B &\leq 10^8 \frac{A}{y} + 1.6 y \leq 4.7\cdot 10^4\\
%     10^4 C &\leq 10^8 \frac{B}{y} + 1.6 y \leq 5.8\cdot 10^4\\
%     10^4 D &\leq 10^8 \frac{C}{y} + 1.6 y \leq 6.3\cdot 10^4\\
%     10^4 E &\leq 10^8 \frac{D}{y} + 1.6 y \leq 6.5\cdot 10^4\\
%     10^4 F &\leq 10^8 \frac{E}{y} + 1.6 y \leq 6.6\cdot 10^4\\
%   \end{align*}
%   Note that we compute more steps than for division: since $t$ is
%   not the end result, we need to know it with more accuracy
%   (on the other hand, the ending is much simpler, as we don't
%   need an exact rounding for transcendental functions, but just
%   a faithful rounding).\footnote{Bruno: to be completed.}

%   think that in both cases we can drop $4$ more digits than we do,

%   The first two arguments are irrelevant (a rounding digit, and a
%   brace group with $8$ zeros).  The third argument is the integer part
%   of our number, then we have the decimal part delimited by a
%   semicolon, and finally the exponent, in the range $[0,5]$.  Remove
%   leading zeros from the integer part: putting |#4| in there too
%   ensures that an integer part of $0$ is also removed.  Then read
%   digits one by one, looking up $\exp(\meta{digit}\cdot
%   10^{\meta{exponent}})$ in a table, and multiplying that to the
%   current total.  The loop is done by having the auxiliary for one
%   exponent call the auxiliary for the next exponent.  The current
%   total is expressed by leaving the exponent behind in the input
%   stream (we are currently within an \cs{__int_eval:w}), and keeping
%   track of a fixed point number, |#1| for the numbered auxiliaries.
%   Our usage of \cs{if_case:w} is somewhat dirty for optimization:
%   \TeX{} jumps to the appropriate case, but we then close the
%   \cs{if_case:w} \enquote{by hand}, using \cs{or:} and \cs{fi:} as
%   delimiters.

%   We cram a most of the tests into a single function to save csnames.
%   First treat the case $b=0$: $a^0=1$ for any $a$, even \texttt{nan}.
%   Then test the sign of $a$.
%   \begin{itemize}
%   \item If it is positive, and $a$ is a normal number, call
%     \cs{@@_pow_normal:ww} followed by the two \texttt{fp} $a$ and $b$.
%     For $a=+0$ or $+\inf$, call \cs{@@_pow_zero_or_inf:ww} instead, to
%     return either $+0$ or $+\infty$ as appropriate.
%   \item If $a$ is a \texttt{nan}, then skip to the next semicolon
%     (which happens to be conveniently the end of $b$) and return
%     \texttt{nan}.
%   \item Finally, if $a$ is negative, compute $|a|^b$
%     (\cs{@@_pow_normal:ww} which ignores the sign of its first
%     operand), and keep an extra copy of $a$ and $b$ (the second brace
%     group, containing \{~$b$~$a$~\}, is inserted between $a$ and $b$).
%     Then do some tests to find the final sign of the result if it
%     exists.

%   only need at most $21$ digits, hence the fixed point result of
%   \cs{@@_ln_o:w} is precise enough for our needs.  Start an integer
%   expression for the decimal exponent of $e^{\lvert z\rvert}$.  If $z$

%   irrelevant to parity.  If the exponent is greater than sixteen, then
%   the number is even.  If the exponent is non-positive, the number
%   cannot be an integer.  We also separate the ranges of exponent
%   $[1,8]$ and $[9,16]$.  In the former case, check that the last $8$
%   digits are zero (otherwise we don't have an integer).  In both
%   cases, consider the appropriate $8$ digits, either |#4#5| or |#2#3|,
%   remove the first few: we are then left with \meta{digit}
%   \meta{digits} |;| which would be the digits surrounding the decimal
%   period.  If the \meta{digits} are non-zero, the number is not an
%   integer.  Otherwise, check the parity of the \meta{digit} and return
%   \cs{c_zero} or \cs{c_minus_one}.
