I worry about clutter as well.  Note that scipy provides log2 and exp2
already (scipy.special).  So I think only logaddexp2 would be needed
and (eventually) logdotexp2.  Maybe scipy.special is a better place
than in numpy?  Then perhaps the clutter could be avoided....though
I'm probably not the best one to ask for advice on this.  I will
definitely use the functions and I suspect many others will as
well---where ever they are placed.
