/** Template for rational numbers.

    This template can make use of arbitrary integer types, including
    user-defined (e.g. infinite precision) ones. Note, however,
    that overflow in either the numerator or denominator is not
    detected during calculations -- the standard behavior of the integer type
    (e.g. wrap around) applies.

    The class can represent and handle positive and negative infinity
    resulting from division by zero. Indeterminate expressions such as 0/0
    are signaled by a <tt>bad_rational</tt> exception which is derived from
    <tt>std::domain_error</tt>.

    <tt>Rational</tt> implements the required interface of an
    \ref AlgebraicField and the required \ref RationalTraits "numeric and
    promotion traits". All arithmetic and comparison operators, as well
    as the relevant algebraic functions are supported .
