not all flonums are rational.
chicken is perfectly compliant with r5 here: r5 does not require the entire

 The manual claims that numerator and denominator are not implemented,
 but of course, they are, just in a way that doesn't quite comply with
 R5RS.  (R5RS says that any rational is a valid argument, but Chicken
 only accepts integers.)

 Two possible solutions: Change the manual to document reality; implement
 numerator/denominator for flonums.
