    Tim> For example, floor division isn't mentioned at all in IBM's
    Tim> proposed decimal standard, or in PEP 327, or in the Python Library
    Tim> Reference section on `decimal`.  It's an artifact of trying to
    Tim> extend Python's integer mod definition to floats, and for reasons
    Tim> explained in this thread (for the 27th time ;-)), that definition
    Tim> doesn't make good sense for floats....

    Tim> Do note that this discussion is only about Python 3....

Since Python 3 is about cleaning things up (at least in part) and Tim is
telling us this is going to clean things up in this area, I'm +1 on this.
Besides, I've found it's generally best to agree with Tim. ;-)
