Hi

I want sage to show rational numbers unsimplified.
e.g. 4/sqrt(18) gets simplified to 2/3sqrt(2) and I don't want that.

Thanks,
Princess

In theory, 

sage: 4/sqrt(18,hold=True)

should work, but apparently we didn't implement that, nor a hold keyword with exponents (?).  Burcin, can you think of a way to do this?
