Do we really want the sqrt of a integer to return a real?
I would expect it to return floor(sqrt(n)), in the same way that
integer division does.
What do other people think/expect?
Daniel.
I don't think x86 has an int sqrt op so under the covers, int->int is
going to end up being "cast(int)sqrt(cast(real)a)" Asking the user to
tack in the first cast should have no perf issues and I expect would be
what people want more often than the reverse.
