[issue46780] Allow Fractions to return 1/6 for "0.17", "0.167", "0.1667", etc.

One more example: what interval is implied by an input string of "1600"? Is it (1550, 1650)? Or (1595, 1605)? Or even (1599.5, 1600.5).

Sorry, I just don't see this working - there are two many arbitrary choices involved in guessing what interval the user intended. Much better to require the user to give that interval directly.
