Again, it would seem (to me) to depend on the implementation, since
it depends how you interpret the fractional portion of the values. 
E.g. I seem to remember hearing that different hardware implemented
modulus differently, so -3.5 % 2.0 could yield 1.5 or .5 (or
possibly a negative version of one of those?), depending on your
implementation.  So then the question is one of whether you
interpret -.3 U as .3 or .7.  Can one say with certainty that one
way is wrong and the other right?  I mean, to me if I have the mode
"wrap" set, I sure wouldn't expect it'd implicitly mean "flip."  For
that, I'd choose a "mirror" mode instead.
