Fractions

This doesn't make sense:
st> 123/3 asFraction !
41
but if I do this, it works out OK:
st> ((123/3) asFraction) printNl !
41/1
Fraction new "<0x103e0d0>"
and this:
st> 123/3  identityHash !
41
st> (123/3)  identityHash !
41
but if I do this, I get what I'm looking for (I think):
st> ((123/3) asFraction) identityHash !
27294
But isn't this just giving me the object index? (that can be reused?)

asFraction is a unary message and / is a binary message.

Evaluation order:

1. unary messages
2. binary messages
3. keyword messages
