On http://tinyurl.com/qtyhh, you write:
rational c = a / b // where a and b are integers a=1 b=2
integer d = a / b // c is one half, d is zero
[...]
rational e = convert(a / b) // e is zero
I guess this can be achieved by some clever expression template magic,
but do you really want to go there? I've always tried to stick to the
"do it as the ints" philosophy, which does have the problems you
describe, but has the advantage of being consistent with the rest of the
language.
Regards,
