The review of the proposed Decimal Number library by Matt Borland and 
Chris Kormanyos begins today and runs until 22nd Jan.

You will find documentation here: 
https://cppalliance.org/decimal/decimal.html

And the code repository is here: https://github.com/cppalliance/decimal/

Boost.Decimal is an implementation of IEEE 754 
<https://standards.ieee.org/ieee/754/6210/> and ISO/IEC DTR 24733 
<https://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/papers/2009/n2849.pdf> 
Decimal Floating Point numbers. The library is header-only, has no 
dependencies, and requires C++14.

Please provide feedback on the following general topics:

- What is your evaluation of the design?
- What is your evaluation of the implementation?
- What is your evaluation of the documentation?
- What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness
of the library? Do you already use it in industry?
- Did you try to use the library? With which compiler(s)? Did
you have any problems?
- How much effort did you put into your evaluation?
A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study?
- Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain?

Ensure to explicitly include with your review: ACCEPT, REJECT, or 
CONDITIONAL ACCEPT (with acceptance conditions).header-only, has no 
dependencies, and requires C++14.

Best, John Maddock (review manager).
