Here is the code for the patch:

I tried to add the test to test_fractions.py, but unfortunately unittest reports 3 unrelated failures due to mismatch in error messages (why does it check exact messages of exceptions anyway?). But it should just be adding

        self.assertTypedEquals(F(-1, 2), F(-2) ** -1)

after line 408.

_Please_, can this go in before 15th?
