+Generate powers of ten using William Clinger's ``AlgorithmM`` for use in
+decimal to floating point conversions.
+
+Specifically, computes and outputs (as Rust code) a table of 10^e for some
+range of exponents e. The output is one array of 64 bit significands and
+another array of corresponding base two exponents. The approximations are
+normalized and rounded perfectly, i.e., within 0.5 ULP of the true value.
+
+The representation ([u64], [i16]) instead of the more natural [(u64, i16)]
+is used because (u64, i16) has a ton of padding which would make the table
+even larger, and it's already uncomfortably large (6 KiB).
