OK, thanks for explaining that. I assume that this test relates to
the following NEWS item (for 1.8.2):
** Fractions were not `equal?' if stored in unreduced form.
(A subtle problem, since printing a value reduced it, making it work.)
But doesn't that mean that your test needs to use an unreduced
fraction, e.g. 2/4 instead of 1/2 ?
(Or does Guile have a strange idea of reduction which means that 1/2
is not already a reduced form?)
