  • Simplify ilog2 for built in bitstype floats and BigFloat by calling exponent.

  • Some missing tests are added for RoundUp and RoundDown with floating point arguments. An undetected bug was fixed and is tested by these tests.

In fact, it's hard to identify a clear advantage of any of the remaining methods compared to ilog2(x::Any) = exponent(float(x::Any)).

Closes #8
