Hi Chris, I think you did not get my point. I do not want to allow x/y. I want to only allow literals, as in 3/2. This would then be a new kind of literal, that has the type of Fraction. Much like 2.5 is a float, but x.y means something completely different, even though it has no spaces. So x/y would mean "divide x by y" or actually call __truediv__ on x plus some details, while 2/3 would just be the constant two-thirds. 2 / 3 would then mean the same as it used to: divide 2 by 3, giving some 0.666ish.
