In connection with this question of what 0 % 0 “should be”, you may be
interested in the note (was it a letter?)
“Zero divided by zero: zero or one or neither?”, APL Quote Quad, vol 11
(1981), 9–11.
As the note is not available in the on-line ACM digital library, I have
uploaded the text to Research Gate:
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/242583682_Zero_divided_by_zero_zero_or_one_or_neither
<https://www.researchgate.net/publication/242583682_Zero_divided_by_zero_zero_or_one_or_neither>
(I believe I have alluded to this note before on this mailing list, when
questions arose about the value of 0%0 in J.)
