Moritz Lenz> 3.14 would be a Rat or a Float or whatever

That's a good question, actually.  Does the literal "3.14" get turned
into a Float or a Rat?  Float is probably simplest, and matches what
e.g. Lisp does, but you could argue either way.  Especially since many
exact decimal literals become approximations in binary...
