Just like Python will use the defined __ne__ if

not present, I see __divmod__ working the same way:
- is __mod__ present? use it
- is __floordiv__ present? use it
- otherwise, use __divmod__ and return the needed piece
I'm pretty sure __div__ should not fall back to __divmod__.
How does __mod__ fall back to __floordiv__? I'm lost.
Oops, sorry. Got my directions reversed when thinking about how __div__ should
fit in.
Bird's eye view: if the exact method needed is present, use it; otherwise if a
fallback method is available, use that.
Currently this is done for __ne__ --> not __eq__, and I seem to remember
another case or two that was talked about but I don't remember what they were and
I'm not sure if they got implemented to follow the fallback pattern.
