Why not call them UIntSize instead of FLog2 and BinSearchSize forCLog2?
That would give an indication of how to use them, and class them along
SizeOf, for finding them easily. After all, you are looking for the size
of a variable?

If not a logarithm, what would you call
these functions that concisely and
compactly describes their behaviour and
purpose? While "bit scan reverse" is
effectively a truncated log2, with a flag
set if the input was zero, it's not a name
that jumps out at the user as "aah, that's
what I need" or "ah, I know what that's
for", and there's no equivalent to what
I'm calling CLog2 yet.
Would "ILog2" and "CILog2" differentiate
them enough from the mathematical
functions?
