I was wondering if that might cause problems if you have a large codebase and 
some unfixed errors in a few places. If the code isn’t being run, only 
compiled, then it’d be unnecessary pain. However, the chances of a codebase 
having numerous undetected divisions by zero, that are obvious at compile-time, 
aren’t very high. So, failing at compile-time is fine.

And, to save another email, I agree with the four items in your summary. 
Exceptions for negative shift, modulo/intdiv by zero, normal division by zero 
is +/-INF. :)
