	* objects.c (scm_class_fraction): New. 

It is great to have rational numbers in Guile's number tower.

However, why have you chosen the type name "fraction" rather than
"rational" as is the name used in for example Common Lisp?

I suggest quickly changing the name to <rational> before <fraction>
sticks.
