Yes. QPI is just QPirac shortened. I particularly like QPI since it is easy to type (no special symbols, only 3 letters). Q is fairly standard for rationals, and PI is also fairly commonly used for... well, pi (in most languages).

fp2rat makes sense if you speak English and realize that 2 and "to" sound the same. Otherwise it makes no sense to have 2 in the middle (try to view this from a non-English speaker's point of view). The same could be said for the abbreviation itself. Granted, this latter point is usually a non-issue since most programming languages use English dictionaries.
