Is there a pre-defined function in Franz Lisp that never uses integer
division when it differs from floating point division ? Obviously it is easy
to write (quotient (float a) b) or to write a function/macro with the same
effect. However, since Franz does a good job of dealing with different kinds
of numbers in other cases, it is inconvenient and inefficient if such a
function is not available in the system.
