decimal precision inference
URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/1618#issuecomment-366808695
In gcc 4.8 that is. 4.9 may be implemented, but I don't think it supports
named capture groups.

> {code}
> In manual cases clearly we can write {{decimal.Decimal('20')}} instead of
> {{decimal.Decimal('2E+1')}} but during arithmetical operations inside an
> application the exponential notation can be produced out of control (it is
> actually the _normalized_ form of the decimal number) plus for some values
> the exponential notation is the only form expressing the significance so this
> should be accepted.
> The [documentation|https://docs.python.org/3/library/decimal.html] suggests
> using following transformation but that's only possible when the significance
> information doesn't need to be kept:
> {code:java}
> def remove_exponent(d):
> return d.quantize(Decimal(1)) if d == d.to_integral() else d.normalize()
> {code}
