It seems that the Residue function should follow the same argument order as %

It does not seem consistent or intuitive for the arguments to be reversed.

What motivated this decision? I spent 5 minutes about to tear my hair out trying
to figure out the results I was getting from Residue.

 7 % 2
3.5
   2 | 7    NB. would be 7 | 2 if I were designing J :)
1


I'm sorry to ask what seem like such nitpicky little questions, but I got a
great answer regarding Passive, so perhaps I am just ignorant of some loftier
motivation for such argument calling conventions.
