I was surprised to discover that unary / does not work analogously to
unary -, namely creating the multiplicative inverse.
In Elisp, (/ 2.0) returns 2.0. In Common Lisp
<URL:http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw50/CLHS/Body/f_sl.htm>
(and in Scheme), this returns 0.5.
Any reason for that? The Elisp behavior does not appear overly useful.
