Alternative to #134
This PR implements
Log10in what is probably close to the optimal way. Both PRs handle the majority of cases by one lookup based on the bitlength.For the remaining cases, #134 does 0, or, 1, or 2 divisions, and then a few uint64-compares and then it's done.
In this PR, for the remaining cases, we do an additional lookup, and then a comparison, and then we're done.
The drawback of this PR is that it has more precalculated 'persistent memory' hog.
So around 2 K. Not much, but still
