No, wait, that obviously leaves the modulus of division scalar foo by
scalar bar to foo...  No, wait, tha obviously sets the value of lvalue
method cal foo to the modulus...  No, wait, that applies vectorwise %
by the elements of the array bar to all thef elements of the array foo
and leaves the moduli in place at foo...  No, wait, that's a Ionian
columnhead lying in the ground...
