>>  remainder(+/-0, y) returns +/-0 for y finite not zero or infinite.

> Does "y finite not zero or infinite" mean "y finite not (zero or infinite)" 
  or "y finite (not zero) or infinite"? Would "y finite not zero and not 
  infinite" be clearer and have the correct meaning?

Thanks for catching this.
The whole point here was to exclude NaN.    It should be:

     remainder(+/-0, y) returns +/-0 for y infinite or finite not zero

That should cure the ambiguity.
