of the suggestions so far, i like that one best.  5 \ 2 isn't bad, but 5 // 2
is more visually distinct (less likely to confuse with 5 / 2 at a glance) and
doesn't have another use.  5 div 2 is a little strange, and makes me want to
try things like 5 mod 2 instead of 5 % 2.  :)  i think it'd be better to stick
with symbols.  just my $0.02.
