The _Decimal type is actually pretty awesome! Except for printf for which I have to cast back to float or double, it works just like other numeric variables.
Apart from that it is not a part of the current C standard (C11) why don't we see more people talking about this? As far as I can see it is an excellent addition for financial and reporting applications. Just wondering. 

Kind regards, Guus.
