I was taking this into account.

if the divisor is zero, you get a floating point exception (i.e. SIGFPE), so
VRP is able to safely use [-1, 1] as the range.

Technically, the set of possible values is [1, -1, undefined], and we can
simply ignore the undefined part for VRP.

Indeed the example is quite questionable, but I suppose if you know none of the
values are 0, it's valid code.

In any case, I don't think VRP is the answer to the problem.
