I guess it might just be me that was surprised to find that
q, r = divmod(x, y) =/=> x = q*y + r
(where =/=> is a lame attempt at "does not imply"). In an ongoing
attempt to minimize the surprise function, I thought I'd raise the
issue.
However, if folks feel that this is the way it should be, that's fine
by me--I'll just document it that way.

Dave
