Thanks, these are good points. About speed, do you have any good 
benchmarks available? In my experience fdlibm is quite reasonable for 
speed in the context of use by dynamic languages (i.e., counting 
allocation overheads, lookup and send performance etc) but since I'm not 
a Python expert I'd appreciate some help with realistic benchmarks.

Agreed. Thus my question if someone had already done this ;-)
