Decimal Type for Phobos

This code is a work in progress for a new type Decimal that follows the "General Decimal Arithmetic Specification" http://speleotrove.com/decimal/decarith.html

Example

import stdxdecimal;

void main()
{
    auto d1 = decimal("1.23");
    auto d2 = decimal("1.23E-4");
    auto d3 = decimal("1.23E4");

    assert(d1.toString() == "1.23");
    assert(d2.toString() == "0.000123");
    assert(d3.toString() == "12300");

    auto d4 = d1 + d2;
    assert(d4.toString() == "1.230123");

    auto d5 = d3 - d1;
    assert(d5.toString() == "12298.87");

    auto d6 = decimal!(HighPrecision)("1.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001");
    auto d7 = decimal!(HighPrecision)("1E-51");
    auto d8 = d6 + d7;
    assert(d8.toString() == "1.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000002");
}
