Remove TODO item, not wanted:
< * Add NUMERIC division operator that doesn't round? < < Currently NUMERIC _rounds_ the result to the specified precision. < This means division can return a result that multiplied by the < divisor is greater than the dividend, e.g. this returns a value > 10: < < SELECT (10::numeric(2,0) / 6::numeric(2,0))::numeric(2,0) * 6; < < The positive modulus result returned by NUMERICs might be considered < inaccurate, in one sense. <
