        There are 5 different cases for a mixed-type addition on
        Fraction. I'll refer to all of the above code that doesn't
        refer to Fraction, float, or complex as "boilerplate". 'r'
        will be an instance of Fraction, which is a subtype of
        Rational (r : Fraction <: Rational), and b : B <:
        Complex. The first three involve 'r + b':

            1. If B <: Fraction, int, float, or complex, we handle
               that specially, and all is well.
            2. If Fraction falls back to the boilerplate code, and it
               were to return a value from __add__, we'd miss the
               possibility that B defines a more intelligent __radd__,
               so the boilerplate should return NotImplemented from
               __add__. In particular, we don't handle Rational
               here, even though we could get an exact answer, in case
               the other type wants to do something special.
            3. If B <: Fraction, Python tries B.__radd__ before
               Fraction.__add__. This is ok, because it was
               implemented with knowledge of Fraction, so it can
               handle those instances before delegating to Real or
               Complex.

        The next two situations describe 'b + r'. We assume that b
        didn't know about Fraction in its implementation, and that it
        uses similar boilerplate code:

            4. If B <: Rational, then __radd_ converts both to the
               builtin rational type (hey look, that's us) and
               proceeds.
            5. Otherwise, __radd__ tries to find the nearest common
               base ABC, and fall back to its builtin type. Since this
               class doesn't subclass a concrete type, there's no
               implementation to fall back to, so we need to try as
               hard as possible to return an actual value, or the user
               will get a TypeError.

    #                      (da*db)//g         d
    #
    # Now, if g > 1, we're working with smaller integers.
    #
    # Note, that t, (da//g) and (db//g) are pairwise coprime.
    #
    # Indeed, (da//g) and (db//g) share no common factors (they were
    # removed) and da is coprime with na (since input fractions are
    # normalized), hence (da//g) and na are coprime.  By symmetry,
    # (db//g) and nb are coprime too.  Then,
    #
    #     gcd(t, da//g) == gcd(na*(db//g), da//g) == 1
    #     gcd(t, db//g) == gcd(nb*(da//g), db//g) == 1
    #
    # Above allows us optimize reduction of the result to lowest
    # terms.  Indeed,

    #
    # is a normalized fraction.  This is useful because the unnormalized
    # denominator d could be much larger than g.
    #
    # We should special-case g == 1 (and g2 == 1), since 60.8% of
    # randomly-chosen integers are coprime:
    # https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coprime_integers#Probability_of_coprimality
    # Note, that g2 == 1 always for fractions, obtained from floats: here
    # g is a power of 2 and the unnormalized numerator t is an odd integer.
    #
    # 2) Consider multiplication
    #
    # Let g1 = gcd(na, db) and g2 = gcd(nb, da), then
    #
    #            na*nb    na*nb    (na//g1)*(nb//g2)
    #     a*b == ----- == ----- == -----------------
    #            da*db    db*da    (db//g1)*(da//g2)
    #
    # Note, that after divisions we're multiplying smaller integers.
    #
    # Also, the resulting fraction is normalized, because each of
    # two factors in the numerator is coprime to each of the two factors
    # in the denominator.
    #
    # Indeed, pick (na//g1).  It's coprime with (da//g2), because input
    # fractions are normalized.  It's also coprime with (db//g1), because
    # common factors are removed by g1 == gcd(na, db).
    #
    # As for addition/subtraction, we should special-case g1 == 1
    # and g2 == 1 for same reason.  That happens also for multiplying
    # rationals, obtained from floats.
