sscanf and Gmp.mpq

Since the functionality is the opposite of sprintf("%O"), I think it's reasonable to use %O. The trick is of course that you'd need to provide a program sometimes but not always.

Maybe sscanf could ask the object how many characters it wants.

Slight causality problem here: Since the string is to be sent to the constructor, the length must be known before there even exists an object.

Well, there are some small things to iron out. :)

Maybe sscanf could ask the object how many characters it wants.

But %O already has a definition, ie the reverse of sprintf %O for at least simple datatypes (not object, program).
