Summary description:  Logarithms and powers with (almost) 9 digits

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 This small package (usable with Plain TeX, LaTeX, or others) provides
 macros for computing logarithms in base 10 and fractional powers
 of 10, achieving a bit less than 9 digits of precision.

 It has no dependencies and can be used on its own, but becomes
 more user-friendly in the presence of xintexpr package, as it
 provides then log10() and pow10() functions and optionally
 patches the ** or ^ power operators to use those. This usage will
 become obsolete if and when xintexpr will natively implement in
 arbitrary precision the log10() and pow10() functions.

 The documentation is included in the README.
