Actually it just hit me: I don't know if this will be considered a big
difficulty or not, but currently you can write division operations using
hexadecimal numbers:

 >>> 0xF / 0xF
 1.0

And this works in Andre's experimental implementation like so for fractions
of hex numbers:

 >>> 0xF / 0xF F
 Fraction(1, 1)

But it looks... funny. I don't know if is is good or bad. It just is.
