Re: division of integers by floats

[Richard Stallman]

    Here's a patch to put the change in the DEFUN.  Note that there is no
    effective change for the two arg form, so its still efficient and there
    wont be any "surprises" for the dominant usage.

Your change is ok too.
(Could someone install it, as a "tiny change"?)
