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.

// ── D38 — width override (scale-gated) ────────────────────────────
//
// When D57 is available, D38's `powf` at HIGH scales (SCALE >= 23)
// routes through `borrow_d57` — widen base and exponent to D57, call
// D57's inherent `powf_{strict,approx}_with`, narrow back. D57's powf
// composes `exp(y · ln x)` on the same wide-tier `ln_fixed`/`exp_fixed`
// cores the matching ln/exp borrow wrappers use, so D38 picks up those
// speedups in composed form.
//
// At LOW scales (SCALE < 23), `fixed_d38` wins by ~1.5× because the
// widen+narrow overhead dominates when the bespoke Fixed kernel is
// already cheap.
//
// Empirical crossover (2.0^3.0, 5 trials × 5000 iters, 2026-05-18):
//   SCALE 18–22:  fixed wins ~1.5×.
//   SCALE 23, 24: BORROW wins ~4.2–4.4× (large, `fixed_d38` hits a
//                 slow taylor convergence path at working scale 53/54).
//   SCALE 25, 26: borrow wins narrowly (~3–7%).
//   SCALE 27:     near-parity (borrow ~1.3% slower, noise).
//   SCALE 28, 29: BORROW wins ~5× (same slow-path spike at w=58/59).
//   SCALE 30+:    borrow at-parity or slightly winning.
//
// Threshold pick (23): captures the SCALE=23/24 ~4× wins. Mild trade-off
// on `powf_with(working_digits ≈ 10)` at scales 25, 26, 27, 30 where
// fixed wins by 10–31%; accepted because the strict-path 4× wins are
// the dominant signal across the matrix.
//
// The hand-tuned `fixed_d38` kernel is retained both as the
// low-scale path AND as the D57-disabled fallback.
