It's an interesting idea. I wonder whether the falling back shouldn't
be in the other direction, though: that is, if a class defines
`__divmod__` but not `__floordiv__` or `__mod__`, perhaps the `//` and
`%` operations should use `__divmod__`? That way, if you're writing a
It seems like this could be something similar to `functools.total_ordering`
and decorate a class. In principle that transformation could go in either
direction, but only if the decorator is used.
Not at all. Currently Python will fallback to `not ==` if a class does not
define `!=`. Having `//` and `%` fall back to `__divmod__` would not be
out of place.
