I tried to make a pitch for (integer-length 0) =-> 1 in
[1] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guile/2020-04/msg00027.html
though I now think integer-length is a useful measure of mathematical
integervalues that can be generalized to any rational numbers and
complex numbers with rational real and imaginary parts.
Also their printed representations can have any rational radix other
than 1 and negative generalized integer-lengths can be meaningful for
length of 1/x vs x (which brings in the zero issue).
For the "integer-length" I compute in [1], I would now suggest an alternate
name: integer-digits -- the number of concrete digit-value representations
it take to represent the polynomial coefficient values in the mathematical
polynomial series.
I should update [1] to reflect what I am saying here to remove complaints
about integer-length 0 etc and talk about integer-digits (or maybe
rational-digits or even numeric-digits?)
I think scheme's integer-length basically solves for minimum L in
in a mapping of rational numbers (limited to integers in its case)
for + and minus like
[0..2**L) for positive and [-2**L..0) for negative.
Those half-open sets correspond, so we can just use the absolute value
like abslen here:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#!/usr/bin/env -S guile --no-auto-compile -e main -s
!#
(use-modules (ice-9 format))
(define (abslen absint)
(begin
(let*((absval absint)
(lm (lambda (aval)
(begin
(let inner ((n 0) (av aval))
(begin
(if
(< (integer-expt 2 n) av)
(inner (+ 1 n) av)
n)))))))
(lm absval))))
(define (main args)
(begin
(or
(false-if-exception
(begin
(display (abslen (abs (string->number (cadr args)))))
(newline)))
(begin
(format #t "\nUsage: ~a NUM -- where NUM is [+ - ] POSITIVE_INTEGER\n" (car args)))
(newline))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
You might want to call the above something other than integer-length,
but it should compute the same result (modulo very limited testing :).
As mentioned in Tom's reply to [1], zero makes for a special problem
in the general mathematical case, where I think you have to special-case
which set of points it should belong to.
In the general case numbers map into half-open annuli in the complex plane,
where inside and outside the unit circle corresponds to x and 1/x, and 1/0
has to be special-cased. The annulus edge circles are at powers of a rational
base, 2 in the binary case, but 4/3 can work. Just not irrationals.
(Maybe as named unit values though?)
Conventional signed number mappings split an annulus in two to map them,
with positives < the splitting circle and negatives >=
Something analogous to abslen can be done to find the power of the base
that will be the diameter of a circle containing (> not >=) both parts
of the split annulus. I haven't done it yet :)
Complex numbers have both cartesian and polar representations, so that
brings in interesting stuff too. The negative of a complex number as
a point in the complex plane is diametrically opposite the origin, but
zero has no direction to an opposite of itself :)
Defining -0 to be 0 has consequences. (Note that fp hardware does
represent -0 :)
You might find it amusing to play with the scheme program
included in [1] (after you inspect it -- no warranties :).

PS. Shouldn't euclidean-quotient always produce an exact integer?
(Inexactness if any can be carried by the remainder)

Hello guix/guile bug-squashers,
The tl;dr is:
(integer-length 0) should agree with:
(string-length (number->string 0 2)) =-> 1
-- and not: (integer-length 0) =-> 0
The integer length in bits (short for binary digits :)
is the number digits required to write the integer value
in conventional big-endian digit order, signifying coefficients
of successive powers of the radix used.
This applies irrespective of the radix. Thus "11" in decimal is
"1*10^1 + 1*10^0"
or hex is
"11*16^0"
or binary is
"1*2^1 + 1*2^0"
So, the crux of the argument is that it takes one digit to write
either 1 or 0:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Inputs: 1 (radix 10, decimal value unsigned 1) (output radix 2)
Number as radix-2 glyph{0..1} string (unsigned)
"1"
Number as glyphs representing coefficient values of radix polynomial for number value:
("1")
(1) -- corresponding coefficient values
Number as polynomial expression:
"1*2^0"
(1) -- corresponding term values
1 -- sum of term values
The following should be equal to guile's (integer-length 1):
1 integer-digit (radix 2)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Inputs: 0 (radix 10, decimal value unsigned 0) (output radix 2)
Number as radix-2 glyph{0..1} string (unsigned)
"0"
Number as glyphs representing coefficient values of radix polynomial for number value:
("0")
(0) -- corresponding coefficient values
Number as polynomial expression:
"0*2^0"
(0) -- corresponding term values
0 -- sum of term values
The following should be equal to guile's (integer-length 0):
1 integer-digit (radix 2)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
BTW, this works for signed numbers as well, if you use a complement
representation making the sign digit 0 for positive and radix-1 for
negative (thus 0 and 1 for radix 2, and e.g. 0 and f for radix 16).
Decimal is just another radix:
Inputs: -11 (radix 10, decimal value minus 11) (output radix 10)
Number as radix-10 glyph{0..9} string (radix-complement -sign prefix)
"989" (complement notation)
^--(note that 0 and "9" (radix10 -1) are sign digits for 0 and -1 coefficient values in the polynomial)
Number as glyphs representing coefficient values of radix polynomial for number value:
("-1" "8" "9")
(-1 8 9) -- corresponding coefficient values
Number as polynomial expression:
"-1*10^2 + 8*10^1 + 9*10^0"
(-100 80 9) -- corresponding term values
-11 -- sum of term values
Tip: for guile integer-length, enter unsigned value with output radix 2
3 integer-digits (radix 10)
The extreme for this version is radix 36:
Inputs: -11 (radix 36, decimal value minus 37) (output radix 36)
Number as radix-36 glyph{0..z} string (radix-complement -sign prefix)
"zyz" (complement notation)
^--(note that 0 and "z" (radix36 -1) are sign digits for 0 and -1 coefficient values in the polynomial)
Number as glyphs representing coefficient values of radix polynomial for number value:
("-1" "y" "z")
(-1 34 35) -- corresponding coefficient values
Number as polynomial expression:
"-1*36^2 + 34*36^1 + 35*36^0"
(-1296 1224 35) -- corresponding term values
-37 -- sum of term values
Tip: for guile integer-length, enter unsigned value with output radix 2
3 integer-digits (radix 36)
I got a little carried away exploring the complement notation, and wrote
a thing to explain the meanings. Please copy snip to int2poly and chmod 755 it.
Then run once without args for usage help.
I hope it will convince you that guile (integer-length 0) should be 1 ;-)

NUMSTR will be written in radix digits representing
polynomial coefficients, which is presented in series terms
and evaluated back to the original number.
The NUMSTR character set is the same as for (number->string radix)
but could be any chosen set of distinct glyphs for values {0..<radix -1>}.
guile integer-length can be considered a special case of
coefficient count for radix 2, which is printed in the last
