Can you elaborate on that?  I don't follow.

I don't think you need something that fancy.  If / produces a Rat, then 
subsequent assignment coerces the value to a Num, you get the correct 
result because Rat is exact.  Likewise converting to Int would give the 
same result as int division would have in the first place.  And 
stringifying produces a Str.
