It occurs to me that ln() is even shorter than log(), leaving the
Huffmanization issue unresolved. :)

ln() for log(:base(e)) is fine. ln() for log to any other base is
Just Plain Wrong.
The clash between 'log' for 'logarithm' and 'log' for 'write to log
file' is unfortunate, but since you have to define logging parameters
somewhere anyway, I'm OK with having to call that sort of log as a

+1 on using ln() instead of log()
Also, systems I know of that implement both log() and ln() default
ln() with base e, as perl6 does, log() uses base 10.
