 > What about doing it in log(n) compositions, like when you try to compute
 x^12 ? :-)

 That's an interesting idea.  For a Python function that will make
 absolutely no difference.  For a symbolic callable expression it would
 make a noticeable difference though.   So we should definitely think about
 it.

 I think the most important thing though is to implement something with a
 clear interface and definition now and get it into sage. Then we can make
 it faster whenever we want.
