> I think there should be a possibility to extract bigint representation of the
> decimal. One could simply want to traverse its bits representation or smth
> like that. And that is not possible ATM.
> I think things are overly complicated currently - there is no reason to keep
> such a high level of an encapsulation on decimal type - anyway its API is
> such an unstable thing now - there were talks about a complete rewrite to
> something other then BigInt, and that would require API change anyway. So
> introducing simple Into<BigInt> would not hurt anyone, but indeed help a lot.
