When you write / in Python 3, you *are* explicitly requesting
floating-point division.
Similarly, when you write // you're explicitly requesting
integer division.
One is requesting 'floor division'
>>> 3.0//2.0
1.0
To me, calling that integer division is a bit misleading in that one
might expect the result, at least, to be an int rather than a float.
(Yes, it is an integer-valued float.)
