decimal-scaled 0.4.1

Const-generic base-10 fixed-point decimals (D9/D18/D38/D76/D153/D307) with integer-only transcendentals correctly rounded to within 0.5 ULP — exact at the type's last representable place. Deterministic across every platform; no_std-friendly.
Documentation
//! D38 floating-point power kernel — `powf` computed as
//! `exp(y · ln(x))` on the 256-bit `Fixed` intermediate.
//!
//! Width-level specialisation for D38, capturing the hand-tuned path
//! that has shipped since before the algorithm library existed. The
//! `ln`, the multiplication, and the `exp` all share the wide guard-
//! digit working scale so no precision is dropped between stages.
//!
//! Fast path preserved verbatim from the typed surface:
//! - A non-positive base saturates to `0` (matches the f64-bridge
//!   NaN-to-ZERO policy for negative bases with arbitrary fractional
//!   exponents).
//!
//! Returns the raw `i128` storage at the input's scale.
