-- Definition
--
-- m ∣ n is inhabited iff m divides n. Some sources, like Hardy and
-- Wright's "An Introduction to the Theory of Numbers", require m to
-- be non-zero. However, some things become a bit nicer if m is
-- allowed to be zero. For instance, _∣_ becomes a partial order, and
-- the gcd of 0 and 0 becomes defined.
