Does `mod` depend on `div`?
I'm guessing that's what's going on. From Wikipedia's "Modulo operation" entry:
"Although typically performed with a and n both being integers, many
computing systems now allow other types of numeric operands."

While coding today, I was a little surprised to discover that the div
operator doesn't coerce its arguments to integers. So for example, the
expressions 25 div '5' and pi div 5 raise errors. I checked the Operators
doc page and saw that, sure enough, div (and mod, I found) accept only
actual Ints
