Have you read the proposal, and the first response to your inquiry? It is simpler to have the ability to add, subtract, divide, or otherwise manipulate individual nth indexes of an integer or decimal represented as an array of integers potentially containing one decimal than trying to perform the same mathematical operations on a number in JavaScript (essentially broken in JavaScript due to the floating-point number issues).
Will re-post a use case, again ~~(128.625*9*1.074)//1243 ~~(128.625*9*1.144)//1324 where if the requirement is to increment the decimal portion of 1.074 or 1.144 if the decimal is first converted to an array, we can use array methods to tests the matches we are looking for. For example, [1.0, 7, 4] representation of 1.074 allows each of the portions of the number to be adjusted independently. Since we have previously defined a .toNumber() Array method we know we can get the value of the array as a JavaScript number.
