[webkit-dev] Decimal support in SquirrelFish ?

[Sam Ruby]

Resuming a discussion from here:

   https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/es4-discuss/2008-July/003208.html

I'm looking at implementing Decimal support in various ECMAScript 
implementations, but before I waste anybody's time, and while I 
understand the "no regression" requirement, I'd like to know if there 
are any "secondary" characteristics that I need to be aware of.

For example, Brendan asked me to run SunSpider tests, the results of 
which are described here:

   https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=445178#c3

A brief overview of what Decimal support entails:

   * A Decimal class, with a number of methods that end up being
     a thin layer over...

   * A library made available under the following license:
     http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/icu/trunk/license.html

   * Support for decimal literals (e.g. 1.5m)

   * Modification to unary and binary operators to invoke the
     underlying methods and/or conversions.
