+1 for the run-time option if I have a vote. It takes some effort to get used to having to declare all variables and yet we stick to it. Why not make the user declare what they mean by log(x)? Not sure about the requirement of declaring the base every time. I previously thought this would resolve this discussion, but it would make copying and pasting of code between applications even more pain than what it is now.
