Sorry for the double-post -- I already asked this in d-learn,

What's the current state of affairs and roadmap for inclusion
of rational number support in D? I've come across David
Simcha's work:
http://cis.jhu.edu/~dsimcha/d/phobos/std_rational.html
... and a feature request on the bugzilla:
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=7885
... but this isn't mentioned at all in the review queue:
http://prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?ReviewQueue
What's the status of work/planning for this feature and is
there any kind of ETA for when it might land in Phobos?
Thanks and best wishes,

I don't think anyone intends to ignore your posts, it's just that
we don't have the answer. Jonathan Davis has a new thread
regarding the review queue. You might get answers there.
I think there is a tendency for discussions in this group to
focus on language internals and features rather than useful but
mundane things. As a last resort you could probably check and/or
complete the rational number code and put it in the review queue
yourself. Most code here is licensed to allow that.
Taking a little longer view, we definitely need a better process
for inclusion of new modules into phobos. Maybe, as you suggest,
a roadmap for proposed modules, with dates for implementation and
reviews.
