Update of bug #31579 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Fixed                  
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #2:

I checked in the following change which I think makes mod and rem behave
approximately the same as in Matlab:

  http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/94d9d412a2a0

I say approximately because I can't tell from the description in the Matlab
docs precisely how "within roundoff error of an integer" is computed, so I
took my best guess.

With this change, mod (2.1, 0.1) returns 0 and I get 2500 for q in the test
case from the original report, which I think is bug #31512
<https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?31512>, not 31514.

As I think my changeset fixes this problem, I'm closing this report.
