Euphoria Ticket #760: decimal data type to prevent float errors

I suggest the decimal data type (aka money type), to be introduced to the language, and serve as a default for fractions.

I have seen it in C# (.net), and many languages have it now. for example: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/364x0z75(v=VS.80).aspx

thanks for the fun language

I don't see this ever becoming a built-in feature. It seems like a good idea for a UDT.

We've had something like this for a while:

I'm not aware of any plans to put this into the stdlib.
