* [1, 10) using the following relations:
*
* x = y * 10 ^ exp
* sqrt(x) = sqrt(y) * 10^(exp / 2) if exp is even
* sqrt(x) = sqrt(y/10) * 10 ^((exp+1)/2) is exp is odd
*
* Then use Newton's iteration on the reduced value to compute
* the numerical digits of the desired result.
*
* Finally, scale back to the desired exponent range and
* perform any adjustment to get the preferred scale in the
* representation.
