/* The method is based on a description in
   Computation of elementary functions on the IBM RISC System/6000 processor,
   P. W. Markstein, IBM J. Res. Develop, 34(1) 1990.
   Basically, it consists of two interleaved Newton-Rhapson approximations,
   one to find the actual square root, and one to find its reciprocal
   without the expense of a division operation.   The tricky bit here
   is the use of the POWER/PowerPC multiply-add operation to get the
   required accuracy with high speed.

   The argument reduction works by a combination of table lookup to
   obtain the initial guesses, and some careful modification of the
   generated guesses (which mostly runs on the integer unit, while the
   Newton-Rhapson is running on the FPU).  */
