Is there a plan for SIGNED divisions? The ainsi C specs for division of SIGNED are good but it exist an other kind of SIGNED division. When computing A/B and A%B, C say something like:

[1+abs(A/B)] * abs(B) > abs(A) >= abs(A/B) * abs(B)

But the euclidian division specify that

abs(B) > A%B >= 0

Then for C: -10/3=-3 and -10%3=-1
But for euclidian: -10/3=-4 and -10%3=2

If specification is “easy”, do you intend to have 2 signed divisions?
