expand_log10(expr) replaces log10(whatever) in expr.
Sorry, the comment isn't clear.

log10(float) yields a float. The numer flag changes non-integer
rationals to floats, but has no effect on integers. Probably the
rule for float evaluation should include log10(integer) when the
numer flag is enabled. I'll put it on my to-do list.
Thanks for taking a look at log10.
