Comment:

 Jeroen, a few tiny comments:

 * in the following test, you can replace 20 by 13. Also, you could add
 {{{all([RDF(q) == RR(q) for q  in Q])}}} which would exercise the code for
 large numerators and denominators.
 {{{
 sage: Q = continued_fraction(pi, bits=3000).convergents()[20:]
 sage: RDFpi = RDF(pi)
 sage: all([RDF(q) == RDFpi for q  in Q])
 }}}

 * is the {{{except?}}} value really needed in {{{mpq_get_d_nearest}}}?

 * please replace {{{round-to-even}}} with {{{round-to-nearest-even}}}.
 Round to even and round to odd also exist.

 * please replace {{{occured}}} by {{{occurred}}} (several places, already
 mentioned)

 Apart from that (and if tests still pass) I'm fine with the patch.

 Paul
