Has anyone written a gem for exact calculations? The kind one would find
on a LISP REPL, or when using your average HP scientific calculator?
>> 3 / 4
=> 3/4
>> 3 / 6
=> 1/2
>> sqrt(2)
=> sqrt(2)
>> sqrt(4)
>> 2

I couldn't find anything on gemcutter or rubyforge, but maybe I missed
it..
I don't ask because I need it.. I ask because of an idealistic desire
for exact calculations :)
