Yes, exactly. I just wondered how-come  it wasn't precise.

Here it just swaps it, such that for non-positive integers returns 1,  
as it with one wrap~ object does for non-negative integers.

I still don't understand how warp~ of non-negative integers signals  
returns 1. The help files says one are to find the largest integer  
not exceeding the signal, which for integers are the given integer it  
self; then find the difference, which is 0; and then calculate  
difference mod 1, that is 0 mod 1, which is 0. What am i missing?
