Seems useful. Well, log is customary for base 10 logarithms, at least on
this side of the Atlantic. I could rename that function to log10, though
(that's also how it's called in Python). Or we could use log (x,b) or
log (b,x) for a logarithm with given base (but that would take away the
possibility to curry, which is pretty useful with your definition).
Opinions?
