Avoid using #reciprocalFloorLog:
#reciprocalFloorLog: does the same as #floorLog: just with more noise.
Once upon a time it was required, but it is not anymore and should be deprecated.

Note that floorLog: already cumulates 3 rounding errors via (self ln / base ln)

(-1 to: (Float fminDenormalized floorLog: 10) + 1 by: -1)
        count: [:i |
                | pow |
                pow := 10 raisedTo: i.
                (pow asFloat floorLog: 10) < i and: [pow asFloat >= pow]].

But reciprocalFloorLog: is even worse:

(-1 to: (Float fminDenormalized floorLog: 10) + 1 by: -1)
        count: [:i |
                | pow |
                pow := 10 raisedTo: i.
                (pow asFloat reciprocalFloorLog: 10) < i and: [pow asFloat >= pow]].

Don't reference #reciprocalFloorLog: in MethodFinder, it should be deprecated.
