Pascal, for example, uses =91/= ' for floating-point division, =91div' for integer division, =91mod' for mo= dulus, and =91rem' for remainder. For example: 20 / 8 =3D 2.5 20 mod 8 =3D 4 In PHP, we already have precedence for non-symbol in operators like =91and'= , =91or', and =91instanceof', so it wouldn=92t feel too out of place for le= ss commonly used operators.
