20   /* The ANSI standard says that |QUOT| <= |NUMER / DENOM|, where
21      NUMER / DENOM is to be computed in infinite precision.  In
22      other words, we should always truncate the quotient towards
23      zero, never -infinity.  Machine division and remainer may
24      work either way when one or both of NUMER or DENOM is
25      negative.  If only one is negative and QUOT has been
26      truncated towards -infinity, REM will have the same sign as
27      DENOM and the opposite sign of NUMER; if both are negative
28      and QUOT has been truncated towards -infinity, REM will be
29      positive (will have the opposite sign of NUMER).  These are
30      considered `wrong'.  If both are NUM and DENOM are positive,
31      RESULT will always be positive.  This all boils down to: if
32      NUMER >= 0, but REM < 0, we got the wrong answer.  In that
33      case, to get the right answer, add 1 to QUOT and subtract
34      DENOM from REM.  */
