Comments
On most printers, PAL can perform integer division significantly faster than fixed-point division.
The speed difference becomes important in procedures which the interpreter must execute
repeated.
Integer division discards any fractional portion of the quotient. Therefore, the operation "5 2 idiv"
produces the quotient "2".
