Another obvious case that can be included is Rational, e.g. Head[2/3] Rational Head[Unevaluated[2/3]] Times Head[a/b] Times AtomQ[2/3] True AtomQ[a/b] False Rational works essentially the same way as Complex. It's perfectly consistent, fully justified, and certainly will never be changed. Andrzej Kozlowski
