Yes. Just need confirmation from @mathpup that he's willing to license it to here

Is there a chance that this improvement could be released with the standard distribution? I am using julia 0.3 and the version Polynomial 0.0.0 from the package manager does not seem to handle division.

julia> Poly([1.0,0,0])/Poly([1.0,2,1]) ERROR: no method /(Poly{Float64}, Poly{Float64})

julia> divrem(Poly([1,0,0]),Poly([1,2,1])) ERROR: no method div(Poly{Int64}, Poly{Int64}) in divrem at number.jl:20

Sincerely

I will defer to vtjnash on this because I am not aware of how the packaging is done. Again, feel free to use the work I provided for division. I'm glad it is useful.

Mostly I just forgot to call Pkg.tag("Polynomial",:minor)

You can also do Pkg.checkout("Polynomial") to jump to the HEAD of master (although reminders like this are good too)
