A Revised Rational Proposal

[John Roth]

I don't think so, as I don't see it coming up often enough to warrant
implementing. However, Rational("x" / "y") will be an acceptable
string format as fallout from accepting floating point string
representations.

How would that work? I though the divide would be
evaluated before the function call, resulting in an exception
(strings don't implement the / operator).

That was a mistake on my part. It would be Rational("x", "y").
