As you mention this, and given the ongoing thread about __preview__<br>
and "nearly ready for stdlib" modules, what is the current position on<br>
cdecimal? I seem to recall it being announced some time ago, but I<br>
don't recall any particular discussions/conclusions about including it<br>
in the stdlib.<br>
<br>
Is it being considered for stdlib inclusion? What obstacles remain<br>
before inclusion (clearly not many, if it's being seriously considered<br>
as an option to support functions in something as fundamental as os)?<br>
Do Guido's comments on the __preview__ thread make any difference<br>
here?<br>
<br>
(Note - I don't have any particular *need* for cdecimal, I'm just curious...)<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Because cdecimal is just an accelerated version of decimal there is no specific stdlib restriction from it going in. At this point I think it just needs to be finished and then committed.</div>
