Thank you very much for this, Jeroen. Most helpful.

Perhaps revising https://docs.python.org/3/library/fractions.html, to
mention sympy's symbolic Rational number class, would meet the
original poster's request.

Neil Girdhar - how does this sound to you?

Short of migrating part of sympy into Python's standard library, I
don't know what else we could reasonably do.
