> Two main things we could update here:
> # The general description of what the decimal type is and is for and/or a
> link to the C++ docs - in the details section, add some explanation of what
> an Arrow {{decimal()}} type is and why it is automatically mapped to an R
> {{double}} type
> # Documentation of the params precision and scale. We could add a bit more
> information to explain what that actually means to the user, as it's not
> immediately obvious.
