IEEE 754 may not be such a kluge I thought it was

I just found out something elegant about double floating point numbers... or maybe this is just a Javascript thing.

function log2(v) { return Math.log(v)/Math.LN2 }
log2(Number.MAX_VALUE) //=> 1024

The Log base 2 of the Maximum double floating point number is 1024. There is something elegant about that. My respect for IEEE 754 just went up.
