Add rational.Rational as an implementation of numbers.Rational with infinite

precision. This has been discussed at http://bugs.python.org/issue1682 . It's
useful primarily for teaching, but it also demonstrates how to implement a
member of the numeric tower, including fallbacks for mixed-mode arithmetic.
I expect to write a couple more patches in this area:
* Rational.from_decimal()
* Rational.trim/approximate() (maybe with different names)
* Maybe remove the parentheses from Rational.__str__()
* Maybe rename one of the Rational classes
* Maybe make Rational('3/2') work.

Surprising behaviour of the "$" regexp: it matches the
