how to improve
Decimal128::makeIndexKey() performance. For example, it stores every 3 decimal
digits into 10 bits using relatively complex (computationally) algorithm with
shifts and multiplications. Storing every digit in 4 bits will use 2 bits per 3
digits more but should save come CPU circles, I believe.
But that is the storage format of Decimal128 (DECFLOAT(34)).
No. It looks more like packed BCD. DECFLOAT uses a more complex internals,
it is not BCD inside.
