Re https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=713#c5381

Don't be absurd, it is not this group's role to invent things (or not
unless
an invention is absolutely needed, which here, it definitely is not).

I'll defer to those who know more about arithmetic functions if anyone
cares
to correct me, but my suspicion is that when the result here is a NaN,
there
simply is no quotient, and it makes no sense at all for the application to
attempt to examine one.

That's why, I'd assume, no-one has ever really been bothered by this
issue,
other than that what the standard says should be complete(and note that in
one case, the standard already says the result is unspecified, it is just
that
there are other cases that were ignored - by picking a specified required
value you would not just be making an editorial correction, you'd be
modifying the standard).

Further when different implementations do different things is not when we
get to invent a solution, it is when we say the results are unspecified,
which is clearly the correct thing to do here in any case.

The (so far, unless things have changed) informal response from WG14 looks
to be exactly what is needed, and the same language should be added here.
