sscanf and Gmp.mpq

I meant, where is it useful enough not to send the data through a string to make Gmp.mpq objects out of after the sscanf?

If you add Gmp.mpq, also add Gmp.mpf.

The big benefit would of course be a review of Gmp.mpq's _sprintf. :)

Not sure whether I understand the question, but whenever you deal with rational numbers and do not want to lose precision in calculations you want to use Gmp.mpq, rather than floats, doubles or Gmp.mpf:s.

Or, if you were referring to my particular current application, I am toying with an SVG optimiser/pretty-printer. (It's in good style not to degrade the quality of the input file.)
