LWG 1281 was discussed in Pittsburgh, and the decision there was to accept the typedef as proposed and move to Review. Unfortunately the issue was accidentally applied to the FCD, and incorrectly. The FCD version of the typedef refers to ratio<N, D>, but the typedef is intended to refer to ratio<num, den> which in general is not the same type.

[ Resolved in Rapperswil by a motion to directly apply the words from the ballot comment in N3102. ]

Proposed resolution:

Accept the current proposed wording of LWG 1281 which adds:
typedef ratio<num, den> type;
