A long time ago, this was discussed on this forum. I wrote the current
candidate for std.rational, and there was talk of Don Clugston
integrating the GCD function into std.bigint to take advantage of
knowing BigInt's internals. According to Don, using a general algorithm
here results in terrible performance. As of now, that hasn't happened,
though.

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,
