// This file contains an optimization for div and rem on architectures that
// execute short instructions significantly faster than longer instructions.
// For example, on Intel Atom 32-bit divides are slow enough that during
// runtime it is profitable to check the value of the operands, and if they are
// positive and less than 256 use an unsigned 8-bit divide.
