Description
Description
There isn't a constructor for ratio from numbers.
See Here for some discussions in the Typst forum. There Andrew suggested #let r(f) = 100% * f. This seems unnatural.
Use Case
scale(2/3, x)

Research direction
Read the issue's linked forum discussion first, then locate the ratio type and numeric-conversion entry points in the Typst compiler. Done means the proposed constructor behavior is defined and the scale(2/3, x) use case works without the current workaround.
