>> Quick overview of the update: the original usage and
>> code of the template class remains mostly as before, ie
>> boost::rational<int> RationalVar; should work as
>> in the original version. Adding 'true' as a second
>> template parameter, however, allows an exception to
>> be raised if an operation with a class variable results
>> in a value that can't accurately be represented

>I haven't looked at anything else, but I dislike using true/false as the template argument.  I'd prefer meaningful names.

Replaced the bool template parameter with an enum:

enum RationalChecktype {RationalNoChecking, RationalCheckforOverflow};
