// Benchmark of the TAK function:
// http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/benchmark.php?test=takfp&lang=all&sort=fullcpu
// This is a very recursive function that tests function calls and
// floating-point math.  Since Frink (currently) always uses
// arbitrary-precision floating-point math, this program will certainly be
// slow.  It's an interesting, and simple benchmark, though.
