+1 from me! I'm tired of re-inventing this too :-) Agree with every point Mark made. Just in passing, noting a triviality: for the ceiling, `1 + isqrt(n - 1)` fails when `n` is zero. But I've never had a use for the ceiling here, or for "nearest" - just the floor. Also for `iroot(n, k)` for k'th root floors with k > 2, but that too can wait.
