  See e.g. Haskell's Data.Ratio (http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.12.1/html/libraries/base-4.2.0.0/Data-Ratio.html http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.12.1/html/libraries/base-4.2.0...) module for rational numbers.

    Or computers with decimal floating point hardware.

      Yes, but that's such a special case. I'd rather go with base 11 than decimal.
