+ * The 8087 method for the exponential function is to calculate
+ *   exp(x) = 2^(x log2(e))
+ * after separating integer and fractional parts
+ *   x log2(e) = i + f, |f| <= .5
+ * 2^i is immediate but f needs to be precise for long double accuracy.
+ * Suppress range reduction error in computing f by the following.
+ * Separate x into integer and fractional parts
+ *   x = xi + xf, |xf| <= .5
+ * Separate log2(e) into the sum of an exact number c0 and small part c1.
+ *   c0 + c1 = log2(e) to extra precision
+ * Then
+ *   f = (c0 xi - i) + c0 xf + c1 x
+ * where c0 xi is exact and so also is (c0 xi - i).
