308	boost::rational documentation typos(?)	nobody	Jonathan Turkanis	"{{{
<http://www.boost.org/libs/rational/
rational.html#Integer%20Type%20Requirements> states:

""I must be an integer-like type, that is the following expressions must 
be valid for any two values n and m of type I, with the ""expected"" 
semantics.
[...]
n / m (must truncate, and n/m must be positive if n and m are 
positive)""

I doubt that that is what boost::rational requires.

int n = 1;
int m = 3;
int n_over_m = n/m;

if( n_over_m > 0)
{
    std::cout << ""all OK\n"";
} else {
    std::cout << ""Can't use 'int' as base type for boost::rational\n"";
}


<http://www.boost.org/libs/rational/rational.html#Constructors> 
states:

""Rationals can be constructed from a pair (numerator, denominator) 
of integers, or a single integer""

I think that the documentation should read:

""Rationals can be constructed from a pair (numerator, denominator) 
of I's, or a single I""
