What about something like the following:

decimal64_t dec = make_decimal64(const std::string&)

or decimal64_t dec = make_decimal64(std::string_view)

I think that's fine. If that function behaves like the UDL operator (assuming this will be modified to accept a leading plus), it would be convenient as a lightweight conversion function for casual use. As for naming, considering consistency with the bit conversion functions could be one possible idea. Regards, Michel
