where i says: 3. If y is not an integer, the fractional part is added to the least-significant digit of the result. ? Or the other one, where it says: To be precise, the value passed to the next atom is (y-remainder)%x. If the quotient was tolerantly close to an integer, the remainder will be set to exactly 0, and a small non-integer part will be passed to the next digit. ? But both of those describe procedure, and neither says what problem this solves for residue. (Neither answers the "why" question.)
