  Why should I?
  I'm not interested on how much is 2.5/2. I don't give a damn, actually.
I'm only interested in that I want a half of that size. Why should I
calculate how much is the half of 2.5 when I can let povray do it for me?
And besides, it will be easier to understand that I wanted a half of that
measure there. From "1.25" is a bit harder to see that it's actually one
half of "2.5".
  If I later decide to change it to 2.7, it will be very easy to change the
half-measure to "2.7/2". I don't have to calculate how much actually is
27/2.
