I don't think we need //. My understanding is that Python provides this because it only provides one numeric base type and via / and // it lets you switch between floating point division and integer division. We currently only have integer division and if we ever add another base type to represent numbers with a decimal point then one would be free to use that datatype to perform such a division operations. So it is the chosen base type that would decide about it, not the operator.
