I have a fork on Github that adds functions namedCould you give some quick examples of when these functions would give different answers, and why someone might need / want the "floor" variants? I clicked through to the Python History article, and Guido gives the example of taking a timestamp module 86400, and says that with the "truncation" technique it gives "a meaningless result", but doesn't actually illustrate that result, so I'm struggling to picture exactly what each algorithm does.

Before I submit a pull request and write up an RFC, what are your thoughts or concerns about adding this to PHP?
