There's an interesting intersection between dialected function calls and the workings of OF.
What if we say it's LOG-OF (and LOGARITHM-OF). This would leave the word LOG free in global space.
log: func [x] [print ["Logging:" mold x]]
1 + log of 1000 ; would still work, relies on LOG-OF not LOG
Then... what if you can dialect the call to LOG-OF to ask for bases.... and what if OF proxies these things into the call?
1 + log/e of 1000 ; English-like "one plus log base e of 1000"
That would be dispatched by OF to act like:
1 + log-of/e 1000 ; OF keeps the path intact on the new call
It could actually receive the literal letter e and know to use a mathematical natural logarithm function, vs. being stuck with looking up the definition of what e and needing that to be defined (and then lose precision by not using the right function).
It's a literate-looking pattern:
1 + log/10 of 1000 ; "one plus log base 10 of 1000"
1 + log/2 of 1000 ; "one plus log base 2 of 1000"
