[racket-dev] [plt] Push #26344: master branch updated

Ok, that makes sense.

I think you should maybe add the word "floor" in the nitty-gritty
documentation.  You might also link from that discussion in the docs
to the Cairo docs here: http://cairographics.org/operators/ .
However, I can't find anything where they say they round down rather
than to nearest.  Grrr. Makes me glad for the Racket documentation
(such as all the nitty-gritty sections you've written).
