  63      NUMER / DENOM is to be computed in infinite precision.  In
  64      other words, we should always truncate the quotient towards
  65      zero, never -infinity.  Machine division and remainer may
  66      work either way when one or both of NUMER or DENOM is
  67      negative.  If only one is negative and QUOT has been
  68      truncated towards -infinity, REM will have the same sign as
  69      DENOM and the opposite sign of NUMER; if both are negative
  70      and QUOT has been truncated towards -infinity, REM will be
  71      positive (will have the opposite sign of NUMER).  These are
  72      considered `wrong'.  If both are NUM and DENOM are positive,
  73      RESULT will always be positive.  This all boils down to: if
  74      NUMER >= 0, but REM < 0, we got the wrong answer.  In that
  75      case, to get the right answer, add 1 to QUOT and subtract
  76      DENOM from REM.  */
