Please correct me, if I got something wrong.
This change adds support for `DECIMAL` literals. So we might have row
fields of `DECIMAL` type and might compute incorrect results until we add
proper support for `DECIMAL`.
It would be nice to support `DECIMAL` but I don't think it is more
important than result correctness. Depending on the support Calcite (or other
libraries) provide, adding proper `DECIMAL` support might be a complex task and
might take some time.
Is there an urgent need to support `DECIMAL`?
