Rational numbers wants an approaches and better instructions #652

Description

Instructions are too long and useful info is buried in it. It's also formatted badly by default because inline code blows up the line-height, at least sometimes.

The problem has a bunch of subtleties, so an approaches file would be appropriate.

Important to highlight:

  1. Default methods save you effort if you let them
  2. Representing infinity (a good representation is easier for users to understand; makes default equality work; makes ordering easier)
  3. Explanation of less-than method
  4. Dangers of big products and how to reduce those dangers
  5. Secret constructors for speed
