People write about the Report definition of
                                              gcd x y  
as of greatest integer that divides x and y,
and mention
>           gcd 0 0 = 0

But 2 also divides 0, because  2*0 = 0.

Does the Report specify that   gcd 0 0   is not defined?

For an occasion: probably, it is better to specify this.
