JavaScript Modulo Operator Bug with Negative Numbers
Hi, I was trying to use the javascript modulo operator today and discovered it is bugged if the dividend is negative. So for javascript, -7 % 6 is -1 instead of 5. I looked into the Number module and saw there is a remainder function that has the same behavior (which is normal for a remainder). Do you think it could make sense to add a modulo operator there? Of course I do understand you are not going to add all the possible mathematical functions... But modulo comes up pretty often. Anyway, it's just a gentle request and, if it is not possible, I fully understand.
