BTW, I find this very hard to understand:

"it’s possible for x//y to be one larger than" ...

This footnote was written long before "//" was defined for floats.  IIRC, the 
original version must have said something like:

"it's possible for floor(x/y) to be one larger than" ...

instead.  Which does make sense ... yup, the old docs were actually coherent 
here ;-)
