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.
