The packages integer-simple and integer-gmp each provide a module named GHC.Integer.Logarithms. In both packages, this module exports identical functions. The two useful ones are: 1. integerLog2# 2. integerLogBase# There is a third function wordLog2# that not as helpful since its implementation is trivial. It would be really nice to be able to use the two integer logarithm functions and only incur a dependency on base. The easiest way to accopmlish this would be to reexport the module from base. However, I'm fine with any other approach that ends up making these functions more accessible. Are there good reasons not to do this? Do others feel like this should/shouldn't be done? Thanks for any further input. -Andrew Martin
