[PD-dev] signal division with scalar values

[Matt Barber]

Hello,

I'm finding some bugs in patches due to the different implementation of
division in the scalar versions of the /~ object. The scalar versions
precalculate the reciprocal of the scalar and then multiply by the incoming
signal vector. The problem is that in floating point, y*(1/x) is not always
equal to y/x. In fact, for some floats, x*(1/x) is not always equal to
1.0f, which can cause problems for e.g. wrap~. It's possible to work around
by using sig~, but as far as I know it's not in the documentation.
