The problem of this kind of behaviour will always be there, because, like stated
by some of you already, there are decimal values that will never be representable
exactly in binary, just like PI or 1/3 will never be exactly representable in
decimal. The matter is, however, how exact should a binary representation be?
Could working-out a BCD-approach with decimal places explicitely being
addressed be the solution? It would be a fair deal slower of course, but my guess
is, it will be faster than 'string-math' .
