------------------------------------------------------------
I did some research, adding support for decimal128 (or float16) isn't trivial.
There are [proposalshttps://github.com/golang/go/issues/12332] to add to golang
as standard library but got rejected.
I checked existing [vendor solutions|https://godoc.org/?q=decimal], and [this
one|https://github.com/shopspring/decimal] seems to be widely adopted and
production proven.
If we are willing to take a dependency, I can explore more.
@Sebastien Binet what do you think?
