Re: Inexactitude and node-list-ref

[Oisin McGuinness <oisin@xxxxxxxx>]

In the DSSSL standard, 8.5.7.15 defines quotient, remainder, and modulo.
The Jade implementation is in style/primitive.cxx; for each of these functions
if the arguments are exact integers the function returns an exact integer made
from the corresponding C/C++ operator; if the arguments are inexact,
a double?calculation is done, and an inexact (real) is returned.

Section 8.5.7.22 defines exact->inexact, and inexact->exact; I couldn't
find any code for these in Jade's source code; and a quick jade run confirms
it doesn't know about them. Should be easy to add to primitive.cxx if you
really need them though.
