    Raised when a division by zero is attempted.

    To get the (in our oppinion: invalid) behavior of some programming languages such as JavaSript,

    which do not report division by zero exceptions,

    use the following code:

        ZeroDivide ignoreIn:[ x / 0.0 ] 

    i.e.    

        ZeroDivide ignoreIn:[ 1.0 / 0.0 ] 

    returns +Inf,   

    and

        ZeroDivide ignoreIn:[ -1.0 / 0.0 ] 

    returns -Inf instead.

    the following leads into a debugger:

    the following does NOT lead into a debugger:

                                                                    [exBegin]

    the following suppresses the exception and results in NaN/Inf:
