My long term wish is to actually provide decimal with unit support in the standard library but, because we can't really make it really first class in the standard library (i.e. we can't support it in guards), I still personally feel it is better suited as a separated package. I would be open though to adding support for number sigils like 13.0d, 13.0f although we should also consider how numbers like rationals would play into that.
What is the appetite likely to be like to include such support in the beam? It has arbitrary precision integers already, so (without looking) it may be possible to add a decimal place...
The question isn't about doing the work, just about the probability of it being accepted upstream?
