Hi All,

I am writing a fucntion where I would like to use fractions for all the 
(numerous) passages.

Is there a way of creating an environment *within a fucntion* so that all the 
numbers/calculations are fractions?

Best,

Fede

Seems to make things a bit too slow, even though I get a good increase in precision.
