[Gambas-user] MOD arithetic operator

[user]

In my opinion that is correct choice.

Because if you remove DIV aka / operator there will be problem for those
who used this in their programs in the past.

In the other hand if you add % operator as MOD the arithmetic operators
will be complete and whole in my opinion as i read the manual.

A last note if old developers like very much the strict classic Basic
style you must weight their opinion if it is going to add or not a MOD
operator, so not to be hard feelings.
