Description
I'm not sure if this is a bug or not but there seems to be some inconsistency in creating a rational from nil.
Rational(nil) # => TypeError: can't convert nil into Rational
nil.to_r # => (1/0)
I would think that the latter would produce a TypeError.
Thoughts?

Current behavior is consistent with other number types:
Integer(nil) # => TypeError
nil.to_i # => 0
Calling the global function raises if the conversion is not well defined, whereas the explicit conversion method instead produces the zero (i. e. the additive identity) for that type.
