In that context, once the
decision is made to implement %, which I have no problems with, it
seems reasonable to me to implement the other half of that operation,
euclidean division.
Would it be terribly confusing if in fact // was a divmod operator? In pseudo code: 

operator //(x, y)
    return math.floor(x/y), x%y
end

Their computations are often intertwined anyway, I suspect...
That works for me. You could read '//' as "split", making it logically extensible to: "a,b,c" // "," --> "a", "b,c"
