| x: applies to real numbers and produces extended precision 
rational numbers.  It applies to integers and produces extended integers.  
The implied comparison in x: is tolerant.  
The inverse x:^:_1 converts rationals, including extended integers, 
into finite precision numbers (floating point or integer). 
 |  | 1 x: y is the same as x: y ; 
and 2 x: y produces the two extended integers of the numerator 
and denominator of the argument. 
 The inverse of k x: y is (-k)x: y ; 
that is, _1 x: y is the same as x:^:_1 y and _2 x: y 
is the same as %/"1 y .
