-- approxRational

-- | 'approxRational', applied to two real fractional numbers @x@ and @epsilon@,
-- returns the simplest rational number within @epsilon@ of @x@.
-- A rational number @y@ is said to be /simpler/ than another @y'@ if
--
-- * @'abs' ('numerator' y) <= 'abs' ('numerator' y')@, and
--
-- * @'denominator' y <= 'denominator' y'@.
--
-- Any real interval contains a unique simplest rational;
-- in particular, note that @0\/1@ is the simplest rational of all.

-- Implementation details: Here, for simplicity, we assume a closed rational
-- interval.  If such an interval includes at least one whole number, then
-- the simplest rational is the absolutely least whole number.  Otherwise,
-- the bounds are of the form q%1 + r%d and q%1 + r'%d', where abs r < d
-- and abs r' < d', and the simplest rational is q%1 + the reciprocal of
-- the simplest rational between d'%r' and d%r.
