Hi all,

Still working on numbers stuff for Chicken, I found that the division
procedures (at least "/", maybe others) do not mention what happens
when dividing by zero.  It would be a good thing to specify whether
it should error or not, (and also if this should happen for inexacts
or not!)

For the  floor/ ... euclidian-remainder, the document mentions that
n2 *should not be* 0, but it doesn't really say what happens when it is.
Since the standard now knows about exceptions, why not specify that an
exception should be signaled?

Cheers,
Peter
