/* How this works:

   The input value, x, is written as

   x = n * ln(2) + t/512 + delta[t] + x;

   where:
   - n is an integer, 127 >= n >= -150;
   - t is an integer, 177 >= t >= -177
   - delta is based on a table entry, delta[t] < 2^-28
   - x is whatever is left, |x| < 2^-10

   Then e^x is approximated as

   e^x = 2^n ( e^(t/512 + delta[t])
               + ( e^(t/512 + delta[t])
                   * ( p(x + delta[t] + n * ln(2)) - delta ) ) )

   where
   - p(x) is a polynomial approximating e(x)-1;
   - e^(t/512 + delta[t]) is obtained from a table.

   The table used is the same one as for the double precision version;
   since we have the table, we might as well use it.

   It turns out to be faster to do calculations in double precision than
   to perform an 'accurate table method' expf, because of the range reduction
   overhead (compare exp2f).
