Comment(by dukeleto):
Are we seriously calling exp "specialized math code" ? I beg to differ,
greatly. Just about every language I have ever seen comes with
exponentiation. Do we really want end users to deal with including and
depending on some external library that implement 4000 math methods they
don't care about, just to be able to exponentiate? Sounds horrific.
I am not against other, less common, math methods being removed, but not
exp or log. I am also +1 to adding exp/log to Integer PMCs.
This ticket is not closable in its current state. I am of the opinion that
it should be rejected and more specific tickets created.
