Comment(by whiteknight):
I agree with plobsing here. There's no real reason to treat a rational as
a boolean. I don't think asking a Rational for it's status as a boolean
really carries any meaning, and I don't think users are going to have any
particular expectation for it.
I say we rip that VTABLE out, and replace the test to verify that the
rational is not null or something else.
