Re convergents: In the interest of minimality, I don't think from_continued_fraction and to_continued_fraction need to stick around. I think the other thread established pretty conclusively that .convergents() is not a particularly good building block for either nearby-fraction method, so I'd let people who want it implement it themselves. Neal Norwitz suggested and I agree that .trim() isn't descriptive enough, so let's follow Raymond's alternative of .limit_denominator(). Would you like to commit your implementation?
