I don't think it's possible to make it fully backward compatible without 
making it significantly slower.  To make it fully backward compatible 
would require using rational, which is the main reason for the slow 
performance of the stdlib version.

I do plan on bringing up the possibility of replacing the stdlib version 
with home_run on the ruby-core mailing (either as is or with changes to 
increase compatibility).  Currently I'm waiting to be added to the list. 
It's been a few days and no response from either the controller or admin 
address.  I didn't have a problem signing up for the ruby-cvs list.

If anyone here admins the ruby-core list (or knows who does), could you 
get them to add me?

Jeremy
