Because I want to avoid long (and slow) for loops and take advantage of numpy/
scipy element wise operations. That is why I prefer numpy.log2(x) over 
math.log2(x). My x is a high dimension array, not a scalar.

Thanks Ralf, I'll have a look. Also waiting if someone else can say if it 
would be easy or hard to implement.
