// __ieee754_remainder(x,y)
// Return :
//      returns  x REM y  =  x - [x/y]*y  as if in infinite
//      precision arithmetic, where [x/y] is the (infinite bit)
//      integer nearest x/y (in half way cases, choose the even one).
// Method :
//      Based on Mod() returning  x - [x/y]chopped * y  exactly.

// Remainder returns the IEEE 754 floating-point remainder of x/y.
//
// Special cases are:
//
//	Remainder(±Inf, y) = NaN
//	Remainder(NaN, y) = NaN
//	Remainder(x, 0) = NaN
//	Remainder(x, ±Inf) = x
//	Remainder(x, NaN) = NaN
