GHC.Integer.Logarithms. In both packages, this module exports identical<br>
functions. The two useful ones are:<br>
<br>
1. integerLog2#<br>
2. integerLogBase#<br>
<br>
There is a third function wordLog2# that not as helpful since its<br>
implementation is trivial. It would be really nice to be able to use the<br>
two integer logarithm functions and only incur a dependency on base. The<br>
easiest way to accopmlish this would be to reexport the module from<br>
base. However, I'm fine with any other approach that ends up making these<br>
functions more accessible. Are there good reasons not to do this? Do<br>
others feel like this should/shouldn't be done? Thanks for any further<br>
input.<br>
