    // Implements the Decimal data type. The Decimal data type can
    // represent values ranging from -79,228,162,514,264,337,593,543,950,335 to
    // 79,228,162,514,264,337,593,543,950,335 with 28 significant digits. The
    // Decimal data type is ideally suited to financial calculations that
    // require a large number of significant digits and no round-off errors.
    //
    // The finite set of values of type Decimal are of the form m
    // / 10e, where m is an integer such that
    // -296 <; m <; 296, and e is an integer
    // between 0 and 28 inclusive.
    //
    // Contrary to the float and double data types, decimal
    // fractional numbers such as 0.1 can be represented exactly in the
    // Decimal representation. In the float and double
    // representations, such numbers are often infinite fractions, making those
    // representations more prone to round-off errors.
    //
    // The Decimal class implements widening conversions from the
    // ubyte, char, short, int, and long types
    // to Decimal. These widening conversions never loose any information
    // and never throw exceptions. The Decimal class also implements
    // narrowing conversions from Decimal to ubyte, char,
    // short, int, and long. These narrowing conversions round
    // the Decimal value towards zero to the nearest integer, and then
    // converts that integer to the destination type. An OverflowException
    // is thrown if the result is not within the range of the destination type.
    //
    // The Decimal class provides a widening conversion from
    // Currency to Decimal. This widening conversion never loses any
    // information and never throws exceptions. The Currency class provides
    // a narrowing conversion from Decimal to Currency. This
    // narrowing conversion rounds the Decimal to four decimals and then
    // converts that number to a Currency. An OverflowException
    // is thrown if the result is not within the range of the Currency type.
    //
    // The Decimal class provides narrowing conversions to and from the
    // float and double types. A conversion from Decimal to
    // float or double may loose precision, but will not loose
    // information about the overall magnitude of the numeric value, and will never
    // throw an exception. A conversion from float or double to
    // Decimal throws an OverflowException if the value is not within
    // the range of the Decimal type.
