I think that [mod] should probably do whatever ANSI C or ISO math stuff 
does, which I think it currently is doing.  Most programming languages 
follow these conventions, so its a good idea for Pd to as well.

But the object you propose does sound handy, so maybe it should be a 
separate object, like [floatmod].
