The accumulated error doesn't need to exceed 1; it just needs to be enough to
make (e.g.) leftover appear to be >= 0.5 when it's actually just less than 0.5.
It shouldn't be too hard to find examples where this happens, but I haven't
thought about it.

Yes, that could work. I'd be happier with this if there are other uses (even
within longobject.c); there might well be, but I haven't looked. I also have
a mild preference for _PyLong_IsEven over _PyLong_IsOdd. :)
