This is not a bug: Int() really returns a float. This float has no decimal 
part, but it is a float anyway. 

The MOD operator just does not convert its argument by default, and so always 
expect a pure integer.

It may change in the future, as there is a request for having a MOD operator 
that deals with Float too.
