These are just integer calculations.
Shouldn't we be able to calculate arbitrarily precise tables at 
complile-time using meta-programming?

I'd probably put the calculations in a separate lib and explictly 
instantiate them for the types/precision  I care about as there would 
probably a noticeable hit for such complex meta-programming math but I'd 
rather do that than use an external code generator.
