[New-bugs-announce] [issue29223] Settable defaulting to decimal instead of float

[George Fischhof]

New submission from George Fischhof:

Hi There,

Settable defaulting to decimal instead of float

It would be good to be able to use decimal automatically instead of float if there is a setting. For example an environment variable or a flag file.

Where and when accuracy is more important than speed, the user could set this flag, and calculate with decimal numbers as learned in the school.

I think several people would use this function

Best regards,
George
