#9017: Support for std::numeric_traits
------------------------------+----------------------
 Reporter:  dlwalker          |      Owner:  dlwalker
     Type:  Bugs              |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |  Component:  rational
  Version:  Boost 1.54.0      |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                    |
------------------------------+----------------------
 Although `boost::rational` uses `std::numeric_limits` in its
 implementation, it does not provide its own (partial) specialization of
 the standard class template.  This means that generic numeric code cannot
 use `rational` in contexts that use the assistance of `numeric_limits`.

 This has been brought to my attention by Michael Olea in his message
 <http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2013/08/79751.php> to the Users' list.
