Curious request. We sometimes discussed about modularising mini-gmp. This
request would benefit of such a modularisation.

It shouldn't be too difficoult to add the mpq layer; at least if you don't
need to deal with floats types nor strings.

I tried to write some functions, just to see how difficoult it could be. I
attach a possible implementation. Would it fit your needs?

Of course, extending mini-gmp would not only mean writing some simple
functions, but also integrating them in the existing code and, this is
REALLY IMPORTANT, writing some tests!

The attached code was NOT TESTED in any way! It can be a starting point.

Ĝis,
