This is a reference implementation of rational numbers
(PEP-239).
It includes regression tests for rationals and changes
to cPickle/pickle
to support them. It has been tested on Solaris and
Linux, but notably not Windows.

This implementation does change the behaviour of future
division to return a rational rather than a float.

Attached rational-Nr
uses rational literals in the form 3r or 3R

Since the PEP was rejected, so is this patch.
