I have wondered the details on just how x: determines the best rational. Maybe
that approach would do what your are asking. It bothers me that the third
number below becomes 63r10.

   x:6.2999999999999998 6.3 62999999999999998r10000000000000000
63r10 63r10 63r10

OK. I answered my own question. The third number was forced to float.

   x:62999999999999998r10000000000000000
31499999999999999r5000000000000000
