      Clarify that mod supports non-integral numeric operands, and that it is defined as

      a mod b eq a sub b mul floor(a div b)

      (i.e., the remainder after dividing a by b the maximum integral number of times)

      The div operator is defined for numeric operands.

      The mod operator is only defined for integral operands, but the section on the mod operator contains rules for decimal operands.

      Clarify whether mod supports non-integral numeric operands, and how it is calculated, e.g. a mod b = a sub b mul floor(a div b)
