* Internal function, specials have been dealt with. The result has a
* relative error of less than 0.5 * 10**(-ctx->prec).
* Internal function, specials have been dealt with. Apart from Overflow
* and Underflow, two cases must be considered for the error of the result:
*
* 1) abs(a) <= 9 * 10**(-prec-1) ==> result == 1
*
* Absolute error: abs(1 - e**x) < 10**(-prec)
* -------------------------------------------
*
* 2) abs(a) > 9 * 10**(-prec-1)
*
* Relative error: abs(result - e**x) < 0.5 * 10**(-prec) * e**x
* -------------------------------------------------------------
*
* The algorithm is from Hull&Abrham, Variable Precision Exponential Function,
* ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software, Vol. 12, No. 2, June 1986.
