If there is a visible "+" like that, the program would be rejected as ambiguous.  But 0 (or 0/1 or any Rational number representing 0) is not a possible result.

I suppose I should clarify: 0 is not a possible result if we assume that the "/" and "+" operations in Rational are implemented correctly ;) ;) ;)
