Hopefully we won't end up in a situation where, in order to have 
platform independence for the one customer, we end up with a system that 
is different from everything else, for every user, in yet another way. 
We'll see what happens, when it happens.

I still think centerDiv: and centerMod: make more sense than those 
because they are related to div: and mod: (the former define rounding, 
the latter define truncation).
