Whoops! I've committed r59707 to fix math.{floor,ceil}. Let me know if
you find any other problems. ... Hmm. I've also changed the behavior
of round(2.5). I'll change that back tomorrow morning.
I haven't seen any answers to the original question. It looks like
Decimal is decided by 2.5 too: return a float from everything.
Rational, being a completely new type, is up to you guys, but because
new support for the conversion routines seems to be rare, it's
probably best to have it return floats too.
