My guess: tighter and looser are only consulted by the parser

You can pass a code block as the second argument which assembles the
replacement text. The block is evaluated anew for every substitution
and it has access to the latest captures:

Rational numbers can always be written as the ratio of two integers:
a/b with b non-zero. One calls a the numerator and b the denominator.

The number of bits required to store an Int is, for positive numbers,
the same as the index of their most significant bit, which is available
via Int.
