I'm not convinced that this operation is so common that it deserves a new
operator. As Serhiy wrote, it must be first on python-ideas first. I close the
issue.

floor division is x//y
integer ceil division can be implemented with math.ceil(x/y) for small numbers.
For large integer numbers, I like to use something like:
def ceil_div(x, y):
rem=x % y
if rem:
x += y - rem
return x//y
I let you adjust it for negative numbers ;-)
