Just never use "double" or "float" in glob2. While it can work on some compiler,
with some other it can desync.

I don't know at all how Boost.Rational works, but given the name I guess it's
fine. You get the idea, I think you can find out!

If you want to be sure, just use shifted int, it's not really difficult.
