[vwnc] Further on ScaledDecimal ...

Wait -- thinking about Integers ...

If  3 // 2  ==  1
Why not
    3s // 2s == 1s  (truncated)
or
    1.00s // 3s == 0.33s

In other words, given that the only real way a FixedPoint (ScaledDecimal)
can not be truncated is on division (since multiplication adds the
scales) then
why a new type when // does what you are talking about??
