In a checked environment, division may "overflow", e.g. -6 / 2u

How about remainder? I suppose one can make the argument that
remainder should never overflow (save for rhs == 0), because it
could be defined with either a positive or negative denominator
(which is not part of the result).
What's the most reasonable behavior?

Most reasonable is
numerator = quotient * divisor + remainder
Which means it can be negative.
