quo, rem, quorem -> poly divide

[DrD]

Enter a polynomial division to obtain the quotient and remainder:

(x^4-3*x^2-3*x-2) / (x^3-x^2-2*x) => [quotient, remainder];

Why is it that just entering the division expression, is insufficient?

Commands to return quotient, remainder, (or both), exist, but they require separating the numerator poly from the denominator poly:

quo(numerator,denominator)
rem(numerator,denominator)
quorem(numerator,denominator)

Just wondering about this, as maxima and wolfram aren't any different.
