//                          <= f_c * f_w * 2^gamma
//
// Since c and w are normalized, i.e. 2^(q-1) <= f < 2^q, this implies
//
//      2^(q-1) * 2^(q-1) * 2^alpha <= c * w * 2^q < 2^q * 2^q * 2^gamma
//
// or
//
//      2^(q - 2 + alpha) <= c * w < 2^(q + gamma)
//
// The choice of (alpha,gamma) determines the size of the table and the form of
// the digit generation procedure. Using (alpha,gamma)=(-60,-32) works out well
// in practice:
//
// The idea is to cut the number c * w = f * 2^e into two parts, which can be
// processed independently: An integral part p1, and a fractional part p2:
//
//      f * 2^e = ( (f div 2^-e) * 2^-e + (f mod 2^-e) ) * 2^e
//              = (f div 2^-e) + (f mod 2^-e) * 2^e
//              = p1 + p2 * 2^e
//
// The conversion of p1 into decimal form requires a series of divisions and
// modulos by (a power of) 10. These operations are faster for 32-bit than for
// 64-bit integers, so p1 should ideally fit into a 32-bit integer. This can be
// achieved by choosing
//
//      -e >= 32   or   e <= -32 := gamma
//
// In order to convert the fractional part
//
//      p2 * 2^e = p2 / 2^-e = d[-1] / 10^1 + d[-2] / 10^2 + ...
//
// into decimal form, the fraction is repeatedly multiplied by 10 and the digits
// d[-i] are extracted in order:
//
//      (10 * p2) div 2^-e = d[-1]
//      (10 * p2) mod 2^-e = d[-2] / 10^1 + ...
//
// The multiplication by 10 must not overflow. It is sufficient to choose
//
//      10 * p2 < 16 * p2 = 2^4 * p2 <= 2^64.
//
// Since p2 = f mod 2^-e < 2^-e,
//
