It would absolutely make sense, butthen you would need the same thing tohappen for float, double and longdouble in the Standard, which isn'tgoing to happen.
So Decimal follows suit.

 Question:

I've noticed that this:

1.23456789098787237982792742932938492382342382342002934932_df

Compiles, although it truncates the value to 1.234568. Would it make
sense to somehow tell the user "hey, this literal is too long" and
maybe error? I have never worked with custom literals before, so I
don't know if this is possible or makes sense.

Thanks,
Ruben.
