You're going to have to deal with that issue anyway.  So far, it
appears you've been pretending that issue doesn't exist.  How do
you resize a 256x256 video for a 5/4 pixel display?

In any case, at this point, I think it's wiser to just have a
"Number" type, which can be represented by an integer, double,
or fraction of integers.  This also neatly gets rid of having
multiple range types.

(Continued fractions are left as an excercise for the reader.)
