"""
Generate powers of ten using William Clinger's ``AlgorithmM`` for use in
decimal to floating point conversions.
Specifically, computes and outputs (as Rust code) a table of 10^e for some
range of exponents e. The output is one array of 64 bit significands and
another array of corresponding base two exponents. The approximations are
normalized and rounded perfectly, i.e., within 0.5 ULP of the true value.
The representation ([u64], [i16]) instead of the more natural [(u64, i16)]
is used because (u64, i16) has a ton of padding which would make the table
even larger, and it's already uncomfortably large (6 KiB).
