These are just integer calculations.
Shouldn't we be able to calculate arbitrarily precise tables at
complile-time using meta-programming?
I'd probably put the calculations in a separate lib and explictly
instantiate them for the types/precision I care about as there would
probably a noticeable hit for such complex meta-programming math but I'd
rather do that than use an external code generator.
Thanks,
