The expression "1\2*3" is not really ambiguous, it is only for Gambas (don't ask me why); it should be seen as "take an integer number, integer-divide it for another integer number, and multiply the result for another integer number, giving an integer result". About integer division, there are other reasons apart from wanting an *integer* division: for example is faster.
