The purpose of the "negative fractional part" is to satisfy the identity
condition when the two parts are added back together:

   ]v=:2%(3r19-%1 2 3 245 246 247 248)  NB. Create some long fractional
parts.

_2.375 _5.84615 _11.4 13.0028 13.0014 13 12.9986


fp=. * * 1||     NB. The fractional part verb

ip=: * * <.@|   NB. The integer part verb


]fpv =: fp v     NB. Save the fractional part

_0.375 _0.846154 _0.4 0.0027933 0.00139082 0 0.998621


]ipv =: ip v     NB. Save the integer part

_2 _5 _11 13 13 13 12



]sm =: ipv + fpv   NB. Add the two parts back together

_2.375 _5.84615 _11.4 13.0028 13.0014 13 12.9986


 NB. The result of adding the two parts should be identical to the original
vector.


sm = v
