[M3devel] integer division rounding?

[Jay K]

Modula-3 apparently specifies integer division as rounding down.
http://www.modula3.com/cm3/doc/reference/arithmetic.html

C used to leave it unspecified. So it could be fast.
Fortran rounded to zero.
C's ldiv function rounds to zero.
C now rounds to zero with C99.
  The rationale was that nobody using Fortran seemed to mind.
Java apparently rounds toward zero.
C# apparently rounds toward zero.


I'm assuming we are stuck being different here?
