report:  "The floating point literal f is equivalent to
fromRational (n Ratio.% d), where fromRational is a  method in
class Fractional and Ratio.% constructs a rational from  two
integers, as defined in the Ratio library. The integers n and d
are chosen so that n/d = f."  I think the way Haskell handles
numeric literals is pretty nice and it's important to understand
what happens if you use them. :)      -- Lennart
