Hmm, maybe, though I can imagine plenty of people being surprised at that. What really gets me though is that % is commonly called the "mod" operator and yet has nothing to do with modular arithmatic (I actually wrote a blog post about it a few months back: [1]). If it were my choice I'd either make "x % y" do real modular arithmatic (possibly even throwing if y is not positive) or have no % operator (just mod and rem keywords).
