docs/attributes-resources.md (line 7)
<https://reviews.apache.org/r/43635/#comment180733>

    Not really, just a minor doc cleanup I made along the way. Happy to split 
into a separate patch if you'd prefer.



docs/attributes-resources.md (line 39)
<https://reviews.apache.org/r/43635/#comment180734>

    Two spaces after a period is considered good style in English prose 
according to some people (this style is used in various places throughout the 
comments and docs, but we aren't consistent). I don't have a strong view, but 
it will require changing a lot more places than just here to adopt a single 
style.



src/common/values.cpp (line 52)
<https://reviews.apache.org/r/43635/#comment180732>

    I'd prefer to keep the newline: without a newline, it suggests that the 
comment is specific to the function that follows (`operator<<`), which would be 
misleading: the comment applies to the following ~7 functions.



src/common/values.cpp (line 60)
<https://reviews.apache.org/r/43635/#comment180737>

    Truncation rather than rounding might also be reasonable behavior; I'm 
curious what other people think.



src/common/values.cpp (line 61)
<https://reviews.apache.org/r/43635/#comment180736>

    I didn't use `setprecision`, because:
    
    1. There is value in making sure we use the same rounding method in this 
operator as elsewhere, e.g, for corner-cases like 1.2345
    2. `setprecision` is a side-effecting operation, so modifying the caller's 
`ostream` seems problematic.



src/common/values.cpp (line 67)
<https://reviews.apache.org/r/43635/#comment180735>

    What should we do in case of overflow?
    
    Note that we don't check for overflow in `operator+` (or for negative 
result values in `operator-`)...
