I have a fork on Github that adds functions named `floor_div` and

request and write up an RFC, what are your thoughts or concerns about
adding this to PHP?
Could you give some quick examples of when these functions would give
different answers, and why someone might need / want the "floor" variants?
I clicked through to the Python History article, and Guido gives the
example of taking a timestamp module 86400, and says that with the
"truncation" technique it gives "a meaningless result", but doesn't
actually illustrate that result, so I'm struggling to picture exactly
what each algorithm does.
