If we allow _int foo;_ to declare an integer variable foo,

D language then defines how (for example) assignment is
carried out (by default), and also provides mechanisms for
alternatives (ie some sort of dec_trunc() and dec_round()
functions).
And when real-world money is involved, you'd better have
arithmetic
overflow trigger an exception, not just wrap around silently.
I made an abstraction, which uses long internally. If the value
range is big enough, it works fine.
