"Fortunately, the tutorial _does_ already list as a pitfall the fact that
-A mod B means -(A mod B)."
I don't know if this is fortunate or not, the likelihood of this information
being usful for anything but answering trick questions is low :-)
As for it being a surprise that a and b or x is not accepted, I don't really
think so. People can always be surprised if they don't know things, but
this is a very familiar rule, and the error msg you get if you violate it
will be clear enough.
