This really should be in a Request-for-Feature ticket, but...
It's funny how the unintuitive system for requesting features isn't used. Where is it?
I think the syntax is the most contriversal part here.
Maybe you meant "controversial", which is pronounced like it is spelled. If you are mispronouncing it, and then phonetically spelling it out, maybe you get "contriversal", but you might get "butterfly" too. I once watched and listened to a local human in the library try to look up "butterfly" by using phonetics, after 5 minutes she said out loud that maybe the 'b' was supposed to be silent, and spelled it out "atrfli", and began looking it up in the card catalog under 'a'.
integer X = integer_division(Y,Z)
I see no gain there. You are doing more typing, remembering a new keyword, spending more of your time, and possibly taking more cpu time to set up and execute.
