Modulo Bug?

I agree. So the solution is to introduce a new Phobos function or 
new built-in operator that works more correctly with negative 
numbers too.

A new Phobos function named mod() is a very simple solution.

While a new infix operator has the advantage of being more 
natural to use, this allows programmers to better remember to use 
it instead of the C %, so the maybe a built-in operator avoids 
some bugs compared to the function.
