Hi all, Still working on numbers stuff for Chicken, I found that the division procedures (at least "/", maybe others) do not mention what happens when dividing by zero. It would be a good thing to specify whether it should error or not, (and also if this should happen for inexacts or not!)
For the floor/ ... euclidian-remainder, the document mentions that n2 *should not be* 0, but it doesn't really say what happens when it is. Since the standard now knows about exceptions, why not specify that an exception should be signaled?
