/-- Shows the correctness of `compExactValue` in case the continued fraction
`GeneralizedContinuedFraction.of v` did not terminate at position `n`. That is, we obtain the
value `v` if we pass the two successive (auxiliary) continuants at positions `n` and `n + 1` as well
as the fractional part at `IntFractPair.stream n` to `compExactValue`.

The correctness might be seen more readily if one uses `convergents'` to evaluate the continued
fraction. Here is an example to illustrate the idea:

Let `(v : ℚ) := 3.4`. We have
- `GeneralizedContinuedFraction.IntFractPair.stream v 0 = some ⟨3, 0.4⟩`, and
- `GeneralizedContinuedFraction.IntFractPair.stream v 1 = some ⟨2, 0.5⟩`.
Now `(GeneralizedContinuedFraction.of v).convergents' 1 = 3 + 1/2`, and our fractional term at
position `2` is `0.5`. We hence have `v = 3 + 1/(2 + 0.5) = 3 + 1/2.5 = 3.4`. This computation
corresponds exactly to the one using the recurrence equation in `compExactValue`.
