I'm a plain TeX user so not directly involved, but any package that makes
vulgar fractions simple (especially if the results are consistently good)
seems worth retaining on principle. Something like 'three twelve hundred
and twenty-fourths' can be a real pain to code manually depending on the
font!

Nooooo! Don't remove these, please! They have at least /one/ user...
\vfrac is especially useful.
Am I alone in this, or does anyone else use them? Speak now, or I'll shut
up, go away, and copy the bits of code out of xltxtra before their
demise...
