/// Trait for fields that are the field of fractions over a base ring.
///
/// Note that a field of fractions is usually the field of fractions of
/// many rings - in particular, every field is technically its own field
/// of fractions. However, such cases don't add any value, and this trait
/// is mainly designed and implemented for fields that have a "canonical" or
/// "natural" subring whose field of fractions they represent. In many
/// cases, this is the smallest subring whose fractions generate the whole
/// field, but this trait can also be implemented in other cases where it
/// makes sense.
