Module Decimal

module Decimal: sig .. end

The decimal type alias provides more readable serializations to s-expressions, at the cost of lower precision. For example:

    # sexp_of_decimal 3.000000000001;;
    - : Sexp.t = 3
    # sexp_of_float 3.000000000001;;
    - : Sexp.t = 3.0000000000010000889
    

Also, the decimal sexp-converter will fail when provided with nan or infinity.

    # float_of_sexp (Sexp.Atom "nan");;
    - : float = nan
    # decimal_of_sexp (Sexp.Atom "nan");;
    Exception:
    (Sexplib.Conv.Of_sexp_error (Failure common.ml.Decimal_nan_or_inf) nan).
