Summary: Fractional Support for HITDICEADVANCEMENTTOKEN

HITDICEADVANCEMENT:1/4,1/2,1,4 produces an error and appears to break the
tag.

Currently the only way I can see to properly code for creatures that have
fractional hit dice but can advance into higher fraction and eventually
full hit dice is to code each as an individual race (up until the first
full hit dice, after which that race can advance normally).

The current tag which has HITDICEADVANCEMENT:1,1,1,4 does not work, adding
a level changes the size from tiny to large as well as adding a second
level.

Here's what I would expect the program to do if it supported fractional
hit dice with the syntax suggested above, first it should apply the
fraction to the hit dice when calculating hit points. Second, when clicking
the add level button it should prevent an additional level from being added
and instead it should recalculate the hit points based on the new fraction
and bump the size up. Once the hit die is full advancement by levels can
happen normally

I would think the ListKey.HITDICE_ADVANCEMENT would just be converted to a
List of Formula or Double or whatever is appropriate for storing fractions
(hopefully without nasty rounding)

Tom, I was starting this and so I looked at how CR was being dealt with.  I
notice that CR has now moved to the new CDOM world and I was wondering if
it would be suitable in my case to also create a HITDICEADVANCEMENT wrapper
object.  Does that make sense?
