Er...  Surely it's OK to just tabulate that function on 65536 values
and see how could that be packed into something more compact?  Whatever
the license of that function might be, this should fall under
interoperability exceptions...

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if f(x) - x would turn out to be constant
on large enough intervals to provide sufficiently compact representation...

What am I missing here?
