    The float.as_integer_ratio method needs to be documented somewhere other
    than whatsnew/2.6.rst.

    I tried to include the method in the Python 3.0 Tutorial but also to
    mention problems with floating point arithmetic that express in
    returning different numbers than what one entered.

    While writing docs for as_integer_ratio(), I noticed a few typos in the
    docstrings of the new float methods. Patch attached.

    The attached patch documents the as_integer_ratio method; I'll commit it
    once Barry allows commits.

    Patch committed in rev. 66435.

    Do we want to mention it in the tutorial? If not,
    this issue could now be closed.

    I think it might be worth mentioning both this and float.hex in the
    tutorial---it would fit well into the floating-point issues section.

    Here's a patch.

    Should I backport the tutorial patch to the 2.6 tutorial?

    Would be nice, yes.
