Defined rationals (Rats) globally in Rational.
Chractarized them with a few lemmas in RealDef, one of them from Sqrt.

    66   Here is an alternative version of the main proof, using mostly
    67   linear forward-reasoning.  While this results in less top-down
    68   structure, it is probably closer to proofs seen in mathematics.
