I'm implementing the new precision 34 decimal/numeric support in Jaybird, and I notice that the underlying Decimal128 is used as just an integer container, instead of already applying an appropriate exponent for the scale. This was a bit of a surprise to me.
Similar to how int16/int32/int64 is used for NUMERIC/DECIMAL with precision <= 18.
Why was this implementation chosen?
To keep the existing logic that deals with exact numerics inside the engine. I believe Alex will comment on other questions you've raised.
