Note that C++ follows C89 in this. C99 changed this and defined division
to truncate toward zero (following Fortran, according the C99 rationale).
Interestingly, the draft C++ update (n2135) retains the original wording
and has not been updated to match C99. That's Core Issue 614, so may
change before the next C++ revision is finalized.
