/* BigDecimal provides arbitrary-precision floating point decimal arithmetic.

*
* = Introduction
*
* Ruby provides built-in support for arbitrary precision integer arithmetic.
* For example:
*
* 42**13 -> 1265437718438866624512
*
* BigDecimal provides similar support for very large or very accurate floating
* point numbers.
*
* Decimal arithmetic is also useful for general calculation, because it
* provides the correct answers people expect--whereas normal binary floating
* point arithmetic often introduces subtle errors because of the conversion
* between base 10 and base 2. For example, try:
*
* sum = 0
* for i in (1..10000)
* sum = sum + 0.0001
* end
* print sum
*
* and contrast with the output from:
*
* require 'bigdecimal'
*
* sum = BigDecimal.new("0")
* for i in (1..10000)
* sum = sum + BigDecimal.new("0.0001")
* end
* print sum
*
* Similarly:
*
* (BigDecimal.new("1.2") - BigDecimal("1.0")) == BigDecimal("0.2") -> true
*
* (1.2 - 1.0) == 0.2 -> false
*
* = Special features of accurate decimal arithmetic
*
* Because BigDecimal is more accurate than normal binary floating point
* arithmetic, it requires some special values.
*
* == Infinity
*
* BigDecimal sometimes needs to return infinity, for example if you divide
* a value by zero.
*
* BigDecimal.new("1.0") / BigDecimal.new("0.0") -> infinity
*
* BigDecimal.new("-1.0") / BigDecimal.new("0.0") -> -infinity
*
* You can represent infinite numbers to BigDecimal using the strings
* 'Infinity', '+Infinity' and '-Infinity' (case-sensitive)
*
* == Not a Number
*
* When a computation results in an undefined value, the special value NaN
* (for 'not a number') is returned.
*
* Example:
*
* BigDecimal.new("0.0") / BigDecimal.new("0.0") -> NaN
*
* You can also create undefined values. NaN is never considered to be the
* same as any other value, even NaN itself:
*
* n = BigDecimal.new('NaN')
*
* n == 0.0 -> nil
*
* n == n -> nil
*
* == Positive and negative zero
*
* If a computation results in a value which is too small to be represented as
* a BigDecimal within the currently specified limits of precision, zero must
* be returned.
*
* If the value which is too small to be represented is negative, a BigDecimal
* value of negative zero is returned. If the value is positive, a value of
* positive zero is returned.
*
* BigDecimal.new("1.0") / BigDecimal.new("-Infinity") -> -0.0
*
* BigDecimal.new("1.0") / BigDecimal.new("Infinity") -> 0.0
*
* (See BigDecimal.mode for how to specify limits of precision.)
*
* Note that -0.0 and 0.0 are considered to be the same for the purposes of
* comparison.
*
* Note also that in mathematics, there is no particular concept of negative
* or positive zero; true mathematical zero has no sign.
