I have GOMF version 1.0. It only saves me a small fraction of the time. And
it doesn't satisfy the second part of my request. A divide-by-zero should
only cause a program to trap out if that program's runtime has explicitly
requested it. The default behavior should be to silently replace it with
an infinity. Numerical Analysis weenies can trap it and do the right thing.
The rest of us don't care.
