So if the fixed decimal type is called "decimal", what are *you* going to call the new floating decimal type? Correct me if I'm missing the obvious, but it seems "float" is just as forbidden to you then. At least if the fixed-point type is called "fixed", it leaves "decimal" available for its successor. But it's all hypothetical so long as FixedPoint/fixed/decimal remains just a class in a library module.
