A quick unlurk - I've often wondered why mod functions always seem to do
this. Can anyone explain that? I can think of very few occasions when you
want to take the mod of a number and not restrict it to a single range,
rather than maintaining the positive or negative value. I understand that
doing it this way makes the function faster, but given that you usually have
to override it anyway that would seem a bit of a meaningless saving.
