My understanding of the proposal is that OP is only talking about
<literal-integer> / <literal-integer> becomes a Fraction. So:
x=1
x/2 # unchanged, still yields a float.
It's only literals like "1/2" that would become Fraction(1,2).
This would appear to limit the usefulness of the proposal. If you
actually wanted x/y to yield a fraction when x and y were integers, you
would need an explicit syntax such as Fraction(x,y) or F(x,y) anyway.
So what's the big deal about having to write Fraction(1,2) or F(1,2) ?
