I was referring to the predefined package that works on floats, which
I think was part of the original question. The index refers to the two
generic packages which contain the log operation. If that were all I
knew, then I would instantiate the appropriate generic on float and
missed the existing predefined package.
Each to his own, I like to use both the on-line tools and the reference
manual. When one fails, the other usually produces.
