I've just put a comment on bug 3171, I'm not sure that we really want
IEEE behaviour. It obeys a == b * nearbyint(a/b) + a % b, but...
I saw that. Wild. But I think we should conform to IEEE behavior, even
if it seems strange.

In IEEE754, r= a % b is defined by the mathematical relation r = a –
b * n , where n is the integer nearest the exact number a/b ;

Ok, here's how I rewrote the section on multiplicative operations. The
text is hardly intelligible due to all formatting, sorry about that (but
it looks much better in a specialized editor). Comments and suggestions
welcome.
