Hello everyone! I would like to propose introducing a new constant NumberFormat::TYPE_DECIMAL to allow parsing and formatting decimal strings. This constant would only expose the method parseDecimal <http://icu-project.org/apiref/icu4c/unum_8h.html#a59870a322f012dc1b9d99cf8a7b708f1> /formatDecimal <http://icu-project.org/apiref/icu4c/unum_8h.html#af80334a90b37b2d5c41bd9db00c98687> from the ICU library. It would bring many possibilities for libraries that work with precise numbers, such as arbitrary precision math (even BC-math) and monetary values.
What do you think? - Marcos Passos
