--------------------------------------------------------------

I'm not sure why we have Fraction in both Lang and Math - I guess historically 
they just evolved separately. The duplication does seem like a waste of effort 
though and Math IMO is a better location - also Math already has a 
FractionFormat implementation. Perhaps would be a good idea to compare both 
Fraction implementations and ensure that one supports all features of the other 
and then deprecate one.

> I'd like to add a FractionFormat implementation, capable of formatting 
> Numbers including oacl.math.Fraction to fractions, and of parsing fraction 
> representation (and standalone integers) into oacl.math.Fraction instances.  
> Implementation and test forthcoming; opinions welcome.
