> mod function query uses DualFloatFunction. This eventualy does a conversion
> {code:java}
>  (float)value {code}
>  converting an integer (32bit) into a float which has a 24bit mantissa ,resulting in a loss of precision.
> This means that for integers > 2^24 this returns an incorrect modulus due to this loss of precision.
> Should we use integer only, or perhaps cast to double (so then create a DualDoubleFunction) which has a 52bit mantissa, so can convert int to double without loss of precision?
> This issue may also affect the other function queries?
