Oops.  I originally wrote

	ROUNDUP a b: floor( ... )

or something equally un-C-like (since this was intended not to be a
C-centric argument), and I put in the floor() to indicate that the
division should not be doing in rational or fixed- or floating-point
arithmetic.  I then decided that this would be overly confusing and
switched to the C syntax, without removing the floor() or adding any
explanation.
