I don't know, but whatever it is it somehow needs to connote
both decimalness and floatness.

Maybe the module should be called decimal, then we could
have decimal.fixed and decimal.float.

Or maybe decimal could be a built-in abstract type with
class attributes fixed and float that are subclasses of
it.
