So, the issue here is that because of the precedence, we're trying to divide by 
a type object (1/1.WHAT) === 1/(1.WHAT).

But, nu/de are not the names of the Rat attributes. I suspect the issue might 
be with src/core/Rat.pm's 

    sub DIVIDE_NUMBERS(Int:D \nu, Int:D \de, $t1, $t2) {

perhaps renaming those args is the simplest fix here.
