instance of a class that has an \method{__add__()} method,
-\code{\var{x}.__add__(\var{y})} is called. Note that
+\code{\var{x}.__add__(\var{y})} is called. The \method{__divmod__()}
+method should be the equivalent to using \method{__floordiv__()} and
+\method{__mod__()}; it should not be related to \method{__truediv__()}
+(described below). Note that
\method{__pow__()} should be defined to accept an optional third
argument if the ternary version of the built-in
\function{pow()}\bifuncindex{pow} function is to be supported.
