> Couldn't math.ceildiv(x, y) be implemented as -(-x//y) in a type-agnostic fashion?

Ah, good point. Yes, that could work.

We'd have to decide what to do about Decimal if we took this approach, since the -(-x//y) trick doesn't work there. (Document the issue? Try to make things work for Decimal?)
