--- Comment #13 from Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton <lkcl at lkcl.net> ---
so CORDIC looks like it is the highest bang-per-buck algorithm that
will cover a large range of these.

initial thoughts: it's very similar to what's in div_core.py
however on second thoughts, CORDIC doesn't really lend itself
to higher RADIX so would need a separate pipeline anyway.
or... it does...

but *sigh* as usual it'll require "translation" of the paper...
or contating the authors.
