+	* Notes:
+	*
+	* -   `f-hfsq` must (for args near `1`) be evaluated in extra precision to avoid a large cancellation when `x` is near `sqrt(2)` or `1/sqrt(2)`.This is fairly efficient since `f-hfsq` only depends on `f`, so can be evaluated in parallel with `R`. Not combining `hfsq` with `R` also keeps `R` small (though not as small as a true `lo` term would be), so that extra precision is not needed for terms involving `R`.
+	* -   When implemented in C, compiler bugs involving extra precision used to break Dekker's theorem for spitting `f-hfsq` as `hi+lo`. These problems are now automatically avoided as a side effect of the optimization of combining the Dekker splitting step with the clear-low-bits step.
+	* -   `y` must (for args near `sqrt(2)` and `1/sqrt(2)`) be added in extra precision to avoid a very large cancellation when `x` is very near these values.  Unlike the above cancellations, this problem is specific to base `2`.  It is strange that adding `+-1` is so much harder than adding `+-ln2` or `+-log10_2`.
+	* -   This implementation uses Dekker's theorem to normalize `y+val_hi`, so, when implemented in C, compiler bugs may reappear in some configurations.
+	* -   The multi-precision calculations for the multiplications are routine.
