Comment #3 on issue 2042 by sherjilo...@gmail.com: Frac() object for rational function arithmetics
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=2042

We should atleast implement a basic Frac object, even if its not as exhaustive as Polys, so that asmeurer and I can use it in our own projects with the confidence that Frac will be improved later. A wrapper over DMFs would suffice for the moment. You can always work on expanding the internals later. The encapsulated object to the outsiders remains the same, the mathematical object rational function.
According to wiki,
"In mathematics, a rational function is any function which can be written as the ratio of two polynomial functions. Neither the coefficients of the polynomials nor the values taken by the function are necessarily rational."

So, understanding Frac as Poly / Poly is good enough for now, IMHO.
