There can be many arguments as to what _%:_ should be, just as I have very
good reasons why 0%0 should be 1. For _%:_ it depends on the path out to
ifinity. When going to an essential singularity any value can be found by
taking the proper path (just as the path to 0%0 can get almost any desired
number, for example go to 0 along the path that provides the limit of
(2x)%x).
The most important thing is to know what happens in J and work from there.
It will not work if limits out to singularities must take only the path
that I, or others, chose.

I'm not sure what these should produce, but it seems like
log(_) % _ is at work, which should be NaN, methinks.
