---------------------------------------

It depends from what angle you see this feature.
The purpose may well be that people who want this feature should use CM rather
than CL.
It is (too obviously?) a mathematical operation.
Besides, this is rightly going to be in a "XxxUtils" class, where new potential
users might want too look for this kind of features.

What I doubt is that any potential new user will add a dependency to
commons-math for a feature like this. Did you take a look recently at the jar
size of CM? It is > 1MB so it can not be considered to be a light-weight
component anymore imho, and thus I think a feature like this would be much more
suitable for CL as almost everybody has already a dependency to it in his/her
project anyway.
