## @deftypefn {Function File} {} idivide (@var{x}, @var{y}, @var{op})
## Integer division with different rounding rules.
##
## The standard behavior of integer division such as @code{@var{a} ./ @var{b}}
## is to round the result to the nearest integer.  This is not always the
## desired behavior and @code{idivide} permits integer element-by-element
## division to be performed with different treatment for the fractional
## part of the division as determined by the @var{op} flag.  @var{op} is
## a string with one of the values:
##
## @table @asis
## @item @qcode{"fix"}
## Calculate @code{@var{a} ./ @var{b}} with the fractional part rounded
## towards zero.
##
## @item @qcode{"round"}
## Calculate @code{@var{a} ./ @var{b}} with the fractional part rounded
## towards the nearest integer.
##
## @item @qcode{"floor"}
## Calculate @code{@var{a} ./ @var{b}} with the fractional part rounded
## towards negative infinity.
##
## @item @qcode{"ceil"}
## Calculate @code{@var{a} ./ @var{b}} with the fractional part rounded
## towards positive infinity.
## @end table
##
## @noindent
## If @var{op} is not given it defaults to @qcode{"fix"}.
## An example demonstrating these rounding rules is
##
## @example
## @group
## idivide (int8 ([-3, 3]), int8 (4), "fix")
##   @result{} int8 ([0, 0])
## idivide (int8 ([-3, 3]), int8 (4), "round")
##   @result{} int8 ([-1, 1])
## idivide (int8 ([-3, 3]), int8 (4), "floor")
##   @result{} int8 ([-1, 0])
## idivide (int8 ([-3, 3]), int8 (4), "ceil")
##   @result{} int8 ([0, 1])
## @end group
## @end example
