[New-bugs-announce] [issue22444] Floor divide should return int

[Alexander Belopolsky]

New submission from Alexander Belopolsky:

PEP 3141 defines floor division as floor(x/y) and specifies that floor() should return int type.  Builtin float type has been made part of the PEP 3141 numerical tower, but floor division of two floats still results in a float.
