I guess we need to settle on a small number of percentage types that
people find useful and then module authors hopefully find what they
need. I am not sure that listing 101 numbers is a good pattern to use
(although it does achieve what you want). For percentages that have no
fraction, you likely want to derive from a base type that is efficient
to encode for binary encodings such as CBOR.
