ECMA-402 ComputeExponent has some text like "the base 10 logarithm of x rounded down to the nearest integer" which really should be "floor(log10(x))" and would be awkward to split across steps because keep-trailing-zeros will be making such declarations conditional.
But it would also be awkward to define log10 in ECMA-402, so I'm instead proposing it here, along with ln and log2.
