# Float#rationalize and String#to_r require complex algorithms. The Regexp
# required for String#to_r cannot be created at class scope when loading the
# core library because Regexp needs to load after String and making a simpler
# Regexp#initialize for bootstrapping isn't really feasible. So these
# algorithms are located here.
