I'd like these to be Fraction(1), Fraction(1), and Fraction(0).
Why? I cannot think of any natural use case why you would want Fractions for a few special cases on an operation which returns non-Fractions generically.
Also, Fraction(1) for the second case would be flat-out wrong.
No, it's not "wrong". 1 is one of the cube roots of 1. It's consistent with 1 ** (2/3) == 1. --
