Is the utility of having (n `mod` 0) return a value greater than the confusion it will engender? In the 99.99% case it's an error. You wouldn't want (n `div` 0) to return 0, I expect.
If we want these number-theoretic mod and div operations let's please put them in a separate module.
Couldn't the same be said for round-to-even, instead of rounding down like every other language? I doubt any beginners have ever expected it, but it's probably better. Jeff Wheeler
