124+-- | Read a rational number. This function is about ten times faster
125+-- than 'rational', but is slightly less accurate.
126+--
127+-- The 'Double' type supports about 16 decimal places of accuracy.
128+-- For 94.2% of numbers, this function and 'rational' give identical
129+-- results, but for the remaining 5.8%, this function loses precision
130+-- around the 15th decimal place. For 0.001% of numbers, this
131+-- function will lose precision at the 13th or 14th decimal place.
