//! Exact conversions between machine floats and rationals.
//!
//! Every finite `f64` is a dyadic rational `m · 2^e`, so it can be
//! converted to a [`Ratio<BigInt>`] *exactly* — no rounding, no chosen
//! denominator.  That is the right default for a library whose core
//! promise is exact arithmetic: `0.1_f64` really is
//! `3602879701896397/36028797018963968`, and pretending otherwise hides
//! error.
//!
//! When the caller *wants* the "nice" rational a human meant
//! (`0.1 → 1/10`), use [`f64_to_ratio_approx`], which returns the best
//! rational approximation with a bounded denominator (Stern–Brocot /
//! continued-fraction convergents), or the higher-level
//! `Context::from_f64_approx`.
//!
//! These two functions replace the several ad-hoc `(x * 10^k).round()`
//! helpers that used to be scattered through the crate, each with a
//! different scale and each silently saturating on large inputs.
