I bet the reason is practicality: try using full names of
denominator/numerator in some involved numeric code. It's a mess.
One may argue you need not access numerator and denominator explicitly
that much but I think it happens.
I'm not sure if this fits with Phobos style, but they could be defined
as "numerator" and "denominator" and aliased to "num" and "denom",
respectively. That way, we get the best of both worlds.
No aliases please. num and dom is where it's at.
