I really think this was an oversight. However, it does remind me of some
conversations we had early on in CAP when we were introducing the use of
databases for storing data and people were suspicious of binary data
types for storing data and for expressing the precision of the data
because they felt the only safe way to express the precision was to
store the data in decimal form.
