Is that a rigid rule.  I like 4 spaces.  I can do without TABs, but I 
really want to indent my code.

I can't imagine what "quo" would stand for.  How about 3.div(2) or 
3.frac(2) ?

Any conversion from float to rational will have some errors, and I think 
that people would expect Rational to be exact.

I would suggest to return Float, because at least people expect to see 
some round-off issues there.
