> Is this also desired for fractions.Fraction and numbers.Rational?

I think so.  The idea, e.g., that "it's obvious" for Fraction is no more 
compelling than that it's even more obvious for ints ;-)  Given that it's 
spreading to ints anyway, there's an opportunity to make it possible for 
clients to write utterly uniform code for every type whose values can be 
represented as integer ratios.

I'd also say it's desirable to extend the Fraction constructor, to accept 
argument(s) of any type(s) that implement as_integer_ratio().  But that should 
probably be a different issue.
