1) On Chicken Scheme, all flonums *are* rational.
2) R5RS does not require a system to have rational numbers, but if  it
has them, it is required to support numerator and denominator on any "q"
type argument, that is, an argument for which rational? returns #t.

The manual *already* documents this as a deviation from the standard, it
just documents the deviation incorrectly.
