A BigDecimal can represent arbitrarily large precision decimals.

It is internally represented by a pair of BigInt and UInt64: value and scale. Value contains the actual value, and scale tells the decimal point place. E.g. when value is 1234 and scale 2, the result is 12.34.

NOTE: To use BigDecimal, you must explicitly import it with require "big"

The general idea and some of the arithmetic algorithms were adapted from the MIT/APACHE-licensed bigdecimal-rs.
