Sure, that was a typo.
Also, I know that `%%` does not make sense neither for Inf nor for big
numbers, but `%/%` - since it's "only" a special case of `/` - should
make sense; it should be "equivalent" (obviously doing some
machine-optimization) to `%/%` <- function(x, y) floor(x / y) (which
works fine for infinite x and non-zero y)
