no, and this has bothered me to the point I consider it a bug in the
language spec that all 'rounding' style functions give back an integral
Is there a fast and reliable way to compute the fraction of a floating
point number?
I can implement
fraction x = snd (properFraction x :: (Int, Double))
or
fraction x = x - fromIntegral (truncate x :: Int)
(actually I need 'floor' not 'truncate' but this is another issue)
but these nee
