the end of that file, from line 673, there is a couple commented out 
macros to generate "nice fractions'', i.e.: ½ (as in the LaTeX package 
nicefrac). Why has this code been commented out? These are quite useful.
because text fraction seldom look good in math when combined with other 
script sizes that are needed to complement the missing nice fractions

“You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an
intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do
something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look
so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag
him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a
bitch.’” — Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell
