We will be using this as part of our WLAN library which represents energy units (decibels and watts) as scaled integers that we have custom classes for. Converting between these units and adding decibels mathematically involves using log10(). Currently, we just use float log10 and casting, but would like to use this for scaled integers and eventually fixed point types. The idea is that this would be a new clang builtin that we could use instead of a floating point log10().
