A few notes on the implementation:
- Any unsigned power of two integer type less than 64 bits in size is supported
as a Limb type.
- The algorithms used are kept simple for the moment. More complicated
algorithms are generally only more useful as integer sizes increase a
lot and I don't expect our current usage to be used for this purpose
just yet.
- All branches (practically) have been covered by tests.

for rough performance comparison numbers.
Closes#364.

To help automatically translate code, see the
zig-fmt-pointer-reform-2 branch.
This will convert all & into *. Due to the syntax
ambiguity (which is why we are making this change),
even address-of & will turn into *, so you'll have
to manually fix thes instances. You will be guaranteed
to get compile errors for them - expected 'type', found 'foo'
start using zig-fmt-pointer-reform branch build of zig fmt
to fix code to use the new syntax
all of test/cases/* are processed, but there are more left
to be done - all the std lib used by the behavior tests
The purpose of this is:
* Only one way to do things
* Changing a function with void return type to return a possible
error becomes a 1 character change, subtly encouraging
people to use errors.
See #632
Here are some imperfect sed commands for performing this update:
remove arrow:
```
sed -i 's/\(\bfn\b.*\)-> /\1/g' $(find . -name "*.zig")
```
add void:
```
sed -i 's/\(\bfn\b.*\))\s*{/\1) void {/g' $(find ../ -name "*.zig")
```
Some cleanup may be necessary, but this should do the bulk of the work.
* add u3, u4, u5, u6, u7 and i3, i4, i5, i6, i7
* shift operations shift amount parameter type is
integer with log2 bit width of other param
- This enforces not violating undefined behavior on
shift amount >= bit width with the type system
* clean up math.log, math.ln, math.log2, math.log10
closes#403
This covers the majority of the functions as covered by the C99
specification for a math library.
Code is adapted primarily from musl libc, with the pow and standard
trigonometric functions adapted from the Go stdlib.
Changes:
- Remove assert expose in index and import as needed.
- Add float log function and merge with existing base 2 integer
implementation.
