Please, I'm not discussing mathematical discrepancies. I only stated
that remainder(), as described in reference manual, works as said,
thus returning the "left over" of a division, so it can't be told
wrong. I'm NOT saying there's no need for a "signed_remainder()",
though I have no use for it. YMMV.

Some quick explanation at:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remainder
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo_operation

Best,
Euler
