Addition of numerator and denominator in 1.6.

Addition of numerator and denominator in 1.6.

[Rob Browning]

I can't remember the arguments for and against adding numerator and
denominator to the public API in 1.6.8.  Can someone remind me?

Thanks

They're specified in r5rs :-).  Aubrey Jaffer pointed out that they
were missing.

...and and since we *do* document R5RS compliance, that can certainly
be claimed a bug fix.

OK.  I added a NEWS entry.

If you get a chance, could you glance through the 1.6.7 cvs diff -r
and see if any of your other changes affect anything public (unless of
course you already know that they don't)?

Yep.  Done now and checked-in.

It was a bit painful stepping through, have to do the new file at the
same time in the future.
