Hi,
log10(x) = constant * log(x), so why not just implement the log10
function as returning an expression "product of constant times the
return type of log" ? Thanks to inlining, that will be just 1
multiplication slower than log() (i.e. only a tiny bit), and will
automatically benefit from log() vectorization!
Your approach is the right one in the general case, it's just that
here we are in a very special case.
