%
% \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?  In the current code,
%   $c\in [1,10]$ is such that $0.7\leq ac < 1.4$.}
%
% 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.

%    \end{macrocode}
%   The Taylor series to be used is 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 \eTeX{} 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).

%   We are now reduced to finding $\ln(c)$ and $\meta{exponent}\ln(10)$
%   in a table, and adding it to the mixture. The first step is to
%   get $\ln(c) - \ln(x) = - \ln(a)$, then we get $|b|\ln(10)$ and add
%   or subtract.
%
%   For now, $\ln(x)$ is given as $\cdot 10^0$. Unless both the exponent
%   is $1$ and $c=1$, we shift to working in units of $\cdot 10^4$,
%   since the final result is at least $\ln(10/7) \simeq 0.35$.

%   Compute \meta{exponent} times $\ln(10)$. Apart from the cases where

%   least $\ln(10) \simeq 2.3$ in magnitude. We can thus drop the least
%   significant $4$ digits. In the case of a very large (positive or
%   negative) exponent, we can (and we need to) drop $4$ additional
%   digits, since the result is of order $10^4$. Naively, one would
%   think that in both cases we can drop $4$ more digits than we do,
%   but that would be slightly too tight for rounding to happen correctly.
%   Besides, we already have addition and subtraction for $24$ digits

%   Each value is expressed as $\simeq 10^p \times 0.m_1m_2m_3$ with
%   three $8$-digit blocks $m_1$, $m_2$, $m_3$ and an integer

%   The first two arguments are irrelevant (a rounding digit, and a

%   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 \cs{@@_exp_large:NwN}, whose
%   |#1| is the \meta{exponent}, |#2| is the current mantissa, and |#3|
%   is the \meta{digit}.  At the end, \cs{@@_exp_large_after:wwn} moves
%   on to the Taylor series, eventually multiplied with the mantissa

% We distinguished in this table the cases of finite (positive or
% negative) integer exponents, as $(-1)^b$ is defined in that case.
% One peculiarity of this operation is that $\nan^0 = 1^\nan = 1$,
% because this relation is obeyed for any number, even $\pm\infty$.
%
% \begin{macro}[EXP]+\@@_^_o:ww+
%   We cram 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_o: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_o: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 $z$

%   This function is followed by three floating point numbers: $|a|^b$,
%   $a\in[-\infty,-0]$, and $b$.  If $b$ is an even integer (case $-1$),
%   $a^b=|a|^b$.  If $b$ is an odd integer (case $0$), $a^b=-|a|^b$,
%   obtained by a call to \cs{@@_pow_neg_aux:wNN}.  Otherwise, the sign is
%   undefined.  This is invalid, unless $|a|^b$ turns out to be $+0$ or
%   \texttt{nan}, in which case we return that as $a^b$.  In particular,
%   since the underflow detection occurs before \cs{@@_pow_neg:www} is
%   called, |(-0.1)**(12345.67)| gives $+0$ rather than complaining
%   that the sign is not defined.

%   We don't need to fill in most of the mantissa with zeros because
