It could be used that way, but generally isn't.

Please consider my original request.  Adding a keyword argument is easy, clear, and has almost no mental overhead.   

It reads very well in code, `y = isqrt(x, 'ceil')` or `y = isqrt(x, 'round')`.  The equivalents with isqrt_rem are awkward and don't read well (reminding me of my Fortran days).
