🚀 go-pugleaf

When we discovered the 'feature' in Ada that an implementor can pick how
he rounds, we discussed various ways to get the integer part of a number.
Here is the 'best' (meaning most portable) way:  (p.s. this 'algorithm' 
is obviously language-independent)

	declare
	    x : real;
	    i : integer;	-- integer part of x
	begin
	    i := integer(x);
	    if (i > x) then
		   -- machine rounded up
                i := i - 1;
	    end if;
	end;
