Does NSDecimalNumber conform to the floating point literal whosywhatsit
protocol? If not, wouldn't both of those examples just covert a Double to a
decimal and back again? Would there be a purpose to that? Like maybe it'd get
rounded differently or something?
Once you have an NSDecimalNumber variable, though, I don't know of any better
way than that '.doubleValue' property you and Alex mentioned.
