+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.
