The whole point of the discussion is that this is *not* a presentation
issue. Fraction(1.64) and Fraction("1.64") *are* two different numbers
because one gets constructed from a value that is not quite 1.64.Wolfgang Maier -- So the longer numerator and denominator would, indeed, be more accurate if used in certain calculations rather than being normalized to a float - such as in a Fortran subroutine or perhaps if exported to a machine with a longer bit-length? That's mainly what I was interested in - if there is any usable difference between the two results.
