I have two purely informational questions at this point:

- Is there any particular reason for the naming---i.e. why DIV and QUO
  are named DIV and QUO and not QUO and DIV?  Do these go back to some

- Are you suggesting replacing QUOTIENT/REMAINDER/MODULO by
  DIV/MOD/QUO/REM or merely adding them?
