<p>I just noticed this discussion and it's a difference of opinion I've also had with the core P6 devs: integers and rats are the same. That being said, integer math should be much faster than rational math and I don't know how difficult it would be to special case the code for that.</p>
<p>On the flip side, by restricting this behavior now, they wouldn't need to take it away later if it proved problematic. I expect that heavier usage of the language over time is what will impact decision making here.</p>
