New submission from Arthur Milchior <art...@milchior.fr>:

While floor/ceil 's documentation are very precise, `truncate` was not 
explained. I actually had to search online to understand the difference between 
`truncate` and `floor` (admittedly, once I remembered that numbers are signed, 
and that floating numbers actually uses a bit for negation symbol instead of 
two complement, it became obvious)

I assume that I won't be the only user having this trouble, especially for 
people whose mother tongue is not English. So I suggest adding a clarification 
to help make what should be obvious to most actually explicit
