The function addk (src/simp.lisp) does rational number addition. The function addk
has several calls to truncate. I don't know what truncate does, but try tracing
addk, timeskl, truncate and add 1/2 + 1/2. Why does addk call truncate with
with such weird arguments? (example (TRUNCATE 8112052 10000) and (TRUNCATE 7488048 10000)).
Huh?
