I borrowed Guido's Time Machine, and wrote the following 

    I suppose some language some day might experiment with swapping the
    operators, so that a/b is integer division and a//b is true division.

*nine hours* before your response above. But perhaps that was explicit enough, 
so if it will satisfy you, I will state for the record that defining the / 
operator to do integer division is not necessarily bad.

But it has been roundly and broadly rejected by the Python community. It was 
tried and rejected. One way or another, your opinion is a minority view.
