 [@DESCRIPTION@]	Defines a /pickler/ for 'Data.Ratio.Ratio'.

 [@CAVEAT@]

	'Rational' numbers are converted imprecisely to floating-point for representation as XML.
	To remedy the loss of precision on reading from XML, they're rounded to the /epsilon/ for IEEE double-precision <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_epsilon>.
