According to the supplied help-information both the rem- and the
mod-operator produce the 'remainder of division' however while mod
(apparently) satisfies:
(A // B ) * B + A mod B =:= A
so implements what is usually called the remainder of (integer) division
rem apparenty satisfies
(A // B + A rem B ) * B =:= A
or (equivalently)
A rem B =:= float_fractional_part(A/B)

While this might possibly be a useful function one would expect different
descriptions for different functions.
