This looks very interesting! I see some confusion on all sides on what, exactly, you are proposing. As best as I can
figure, the rules for your conversions are something like (where .div. is division and .op. is any other operation):
1) int .div. int --> fraction
2) int .op. fraction --> fraction
3) fraction .op. non-fraction --> float
What I am not sure of:
4) fraction .op. fraction --> ???
5) fraction .op. non-fraction --> ???
Am I correct on 1-3? What are you proposing as regards 4 and 5?
