If it really became important to use both simultaneously and pass numbers from one to the other, you could have both of them depend on another package "AbstractDecimals.jl" or something that just defines the types. But it seems premature to do this unless there really turns out to be a need; it will be easy to refactor in this way if so. However, it would be better to figure out if decNumber is comparable in speed to the Intel package. If it is, and it supports more functionality, it would be better to just switch DecFP.jl to use that (https://github.com/stevengj/DecFP.jl/issues/12) so that there is only a single DecFP package.
