I would say no prefix at all for ratios, only base 10.
Also do people in the US consider 1+13/2 a number? Or is it really only
written as 7+1/2?
I think the number literals should only express what people consider as
numbers. They should not replace arbitrary mathematical operations (like
your 60/2.5 example) which are folded by the compiler anyway.
What do you think?

Those examples do look ugly -- maybe base 10 ratios only is not a bad idea.
But would it support the 0d prefix? e.g. ``0d1+1/3``?
