For N=odd*2^k the coordinates are X=k, Y=(odd-1)/2. The X coordinate is how many factors
of 2 can be divided out. The Y coordinate counts odd integers 1,3,5,7,etc as 0,1,2,3,etc.
This is clearer by writing N values in binary,

Radix
The "radix" parameter can do the same dividing out in a higher base. For example radix 3
divides out factors of 3,

N=1,3,9,27,etc on the X axis is the powers of 3.
N=1,2,4,5,7,etc on the Y axis is the integers N=1or2 mod 3, ie. those not a multiple of 3.
Notice if Y=1or2 mod 4 then the N values in that row are all even, or if Y=0or3 mod 4 then
the N values are all odd.

FUNCTIONS
See "FUNCTIONS" in Math::PlanePath for the behaviour common to all path classes.
"$path = Math::PlanePath::PowerArray->new ()"
Create and return a new path object.
"($x,$y) = $path->n_to_xy ($n)"
Return the X,Y coordinates of point number $n on the path. Points begin at 1 and if
"$n < 0" then the return is an empty list.
"$n = $path->xy_to_n ($x,$y)"
Return the N point number at coordinates "$x,$y". If "$x<0" or "$y<0" then there's no
N and the return is "undef".
N values grow rapidly with $x. Pass in a number type such as "Math::BigInt" to
preserve precision.
"($n_lo, $n_hi) = $path->rect_to_n_range ($x1,$y1, $x2,$y2)"
The returned range is exact, meaning $n_lo and $n_hi are the smallest and biggest in
the rectangle.
FORMULAS
Rectangle to N Range
Within each row increasing X is increasing N, and in each column increasing Y is
increasing N. So in a rectangle the lower left corner is the minimum N and the upper
right is the maximum N.

N to Turn Left or Right
The turn left or right is given by
radix = 2 left at N==0 mod radix and N==1mod4, right otherwise
radix >= 3 left at N==0 mod radix
right at N=1 or radix-1 mod radix
straight otherwise
The points N!=0 mod radix are on the Y axis and those N==0 mod radix are off the axis.
For that reason the turn at N==0 mod radix is to the left,
|
C--
---
A--__ -- point B is N=0 mod radix,
| --- B turn left A-B-C is left
For radix>=3 the turns at A and C are to the right, since the point before A and after C
is also on the Y axis. For radix>=4 there's of run of points on the Y axis which are
straight.
For radix=2 the "B" case N=0 mod 2 applies, but for the A,C points in between the turn
alternates left or right.
1-- N=1 mod 4 3-- N=3 mod 4
\ -- turn left \ -- turn right
\ -- \ --
2 -- 2 --

0 4
Points N=2 mod 4 are X=1 and Y=N/2 whereas N=0 mod 4 has 2 or more trailing 0 bits so X>1
and Y<N/2.
