* points to be rounded towards the next lower frame border always,
* irrespective of the relation to the actual time origin.
* Contrast this to the built-in integer division operator, which
* truncates towards zero.

* @note if invoked with an non empty parameter, this test performs
* some interesting timing comparisons, which initially were
* used to tweak the implementation a bit.

/** @test timing measurements to compare implementation details.
* This test uses a sequence of random integers, where the values
* used as denominator are ensured not to be zero.
*
* \par measurement results
* My experiments (AMD Athlon-64 4200 X2) gave me
* the following timing measurements in nanoseconds:
*
* Verification.......... 127.7
* Integer_div........... 111.7
* double_floor.......... 74.8
* floordiv_int.......... 112.7
* floordiv_long......... 119.8
* floordiv_int64_t...... 121.4
* floordiv_long_alt..... 122.7
*
* These figures are the average of 6 runs with 50 million
* iterations each (as produced by this function)
*
* \par conclusions
* The most significant result is the striking performance of the
* fpu based calculation. Consequently, integer arithmetics should
* only be used when necessary due to resolution requirements, as
* is the case for int64_t based Lumiera Time values, which require
* a precision beyond the 16 digits provided by double.
* Besides that, we can conclude that the additional tests and
* adjustment of the custom floordiv only creates a slight overhead
* compared to the built-in integer div function. An oddity to note
* is the slightly better performance of long over int64_t. Also,
* the alternative formulation of the function, which uses the
* \c fdiv() function also to divide the positive results,
* performs only slightly worse. So this implementation
* was chosen mainly because it seems to state its
* intent more clearly in code.
