[ruby-core:98911] [Ruby master Feature#16470] Issue with nanoseconds in Time#inspect

Issue #16470 has been updated by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans).


I've added an alternative approach, which uses Float#rationalize for all Float conversions in Time, except for Time.at (one test depends on `Time.at(float).to_f == float`): https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/3248

Feature #16470: Issue with nanoseconds in Time#inspect

----------------------------------------
Ruby 2.7 added nanosecond representation to the return value of `Time#inspect` method.

Nanosecond is displayed as `Rational` as in the following example:

```ruby
t = Time.utc(2007, 11, 1, 15, 25, 0, 123456.789)
t.inspect # => "2007-11-01 15:25:00 8483885939586761/68719476736000000 UTC"
```

The nanosecond value `8483885939586761/68719476736000000` can be expanded to `0.12345678900000001`. This is different from the stored nanosecond:

```ruby
t.nsec # => 123456789
t.strftime("%N") # => "123456789"
```

I assume it isn't expected, and will be fixed.
