Granted, Todd would not have anticipated this answer if he calls arbitrary length integers "magic powder" and the question "I have computed this Int/Num/Rat in Raku, is it rational?" does indeed not make any sense. But there are computer languages that can do better. Given FatRats, such modules can be written for Raku today.
Actually the question "is it rational" DOES make sense, however its answer is trivial, the answer is always "yes"; EVERY (not-NaN/Inf/etc) number a language-defined Raku data type can represent is exactly expressible as the ratio of 2 integers. -- Darren Duncan
