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