BigDecimal represents decimal floating-point numbers of arbitrary precision.
By default, the precision approximately matches that of IEEE 128-bit floating
point numbers (34 decimal digits, HALF_EVEN rounding mode). Within the range
of IEEE binary128 numbers, BigDecimal will agree with BigInt for both
equality and hash codes (and will agree with primitive types as well). Beyond
that range--numbers with more than 4934 digits when written out in full--the
hashCode of BigInt and BigDecimal is allowed to diverge due to difficulty
in efficiently computing both the decimal representation in BigDecimal and the
binary representation in BigInt.
When creating a BigDecimal from a Double or Float, care must be taken as
the binary fraction representation of Double and Float does not easily
convert into a decimal representation. Three explicit schemes are available
for conversion. BigDecimal.decimal will convert the floating-point number
to a decimal text representation, and build a BigDecimal based on that.
BigDecimal.binary will expand the binary fraction to the requested or default
precision. BigDecimal.exact will expand the binary fraction to the
full number of digits, thus producing the exact decimal value corresponding to
the binary fraction of that floating-point number. BigDecimal equality
matches the decimal expansion of Double: BigDecimal.decimal(0.1) == 0.1.
Note that since 0.1f != 0.1, the same is not true for Float. Instead,
0.1f == BigDecimal.decimal((0.1f).toDouble).
To test whether a BigDecimal number can be converted to a Double or
Float and then back without loss of information by using one of these
methods, test with isDecimalDouble, isBinaryDouble, or isExactDouble
or the corresponding Float versions. Note that BigInt's isValidDouble
will agree with isExactDouble, not the isDecimalDouble used by default.
BigDecimal uses the decimal representation of binary floating-point numbers
to determine equality and hash codes. This yields different answers than
conversion between Long and Double values, where the exact form is used.
As always, since floating-point is a lossy representation, it is advisable to
take care when assuming identity will be maintained across multiple conversions.
BigDecimal maintains a MathContext that determines the rounding that
is applied to certain calculations. In most cases, the value of the
BigDecimal is also rounded to the precision specified by the MathContext.
To create a BigDecimal with a different precision than its MathContext,
use new BigDecimal(new java.math.BigDecimal(...), mc). Rounding will
be applied on those mathematical operations that can dramatically change the
number of digits in a full representation, namely multiplication, division,
and powers. The left-hand argument's MathContext always determines the
degree of rounding, if any, and is the one propagated through arithmetic
operations that do not apply rounding themselves.

Returns the hash code for this BigDecimal.
Returns the hash code for this BigDecimal.
Note that this does not merely use the underlying java object's
hashCode because we compare BigDecimals with compareTo
which deems 2 == 2.00, whereas in java these are unequal
with unequal hashCodes. These hash codes agree with BigInt
for whole numbers up ~4934 digits (the range of IEEE 128 bit floating
point). Beyond this, hash codes will disagree; this prevents the
explicit representation of the BigInt form for BigDecimal values
with large exponents.

Should only be called after all known non-primitive types have been excluded.
Should only be called after all known non-primitive types have been excluded. This method won't dispatch anywhere else after checking against the primitives to avoid infinite recursion between equals and this on unknown "Number" variants.
Additionally, this should only be called if the numeric type is happy to be converted to Long, Float, and Double. If for instance a BigInt much larger than the Long range is sent here, it will claim equality with whatever Long is left in its lower 64 bits. Or a BigDecimal with more precision than Double can hold: same thing. There's no way given the interface available here to prevent this error.
