    322 
    323         There are 5 different cases for a mixed-type addition on
    324         Fraction. I'll refer to all of the above code that doesn't
    325         refer to Fraction, float, or complex as "boilerplate". 'r'
    326         will be an instance of Fraction, which is a subtype of
    327         Rational (r : Fraction <: Rational), and b : B <:
    328         Complex. The first three involve 'r + b':
    329 
    330             1. If B <: Fraction, int, float, or complex, we handle
    331                that specially, and all is well.
    332             2. If Fraction falls back to the boilerplate code, and it
    333                were to return a value from __add__, we'd miss the
    334                possibility that B defines a more intelligent __radd__,
    335                so the boilerplate should return NotImplemented from
    336                __add__. In particular, we don't handle Rational
    337                here, even though we could get an exact answer, in case
    338                the other type wants to do something special.
    339             3. If B <: Fraction, Python tries B.__radd__ before
    340                Fraction.__add__. This is ok, because it was
    341                implemented with knowledge of Fraction, so it can
    342                handle those instances before delegating to Real or
    343                Complex.
    344 
    345         The next two situations describe 'b + r'. We assume that b
    346         didn't know about Fraction in its implementation, and that it
    347         uses similar boilerplate code:
    348 
    349             4. If B <: Rational, then __radd_ converts both to the
    350                builtin rational type (hey look, that's us) and
    351                proceeds.
    352             5. Otherwise, __radd__ tries to find the nearest common
    353                base ABC, and fall back to its builtin type. Since this
    354                class doesn't subclass a concrete type, there's no
    355                implementation to fall back to, so we need to try as
    356                hard as possible to return an actual value, or the user
    357                will get a TypeError.
