<para>
Returns the floating point remainder of dividing the dividend
(<parameter>x</parameter>) by the divisor (<parameter>y</parameter>).
The reminder (<varname>r</varname>) is defined as: x = i * y + r, for
some integer <varname>i</varname>. If <parameter>y</parameter> is
non-zero, <varname>r</varname> has the same sign as
<parameter>x</parameter> and a magnitude less than the magnitude of
<parameter>y</parameter>.
