This expands the "applications to equation-solving" examples in the lambertw docstring. The function can be used to solve the implicit equation x = a + b*exp(c*x).

A "real world" application of this is solving the Colebrook equation. I didn't mention that in the docstring, as it involves too much specialized notation.
