09/20/2021, 9:58 PMuntil that is resolved, I'd do fixed-point manually for monetary units. Int + fixed offset of 2 should cover modern currencies and most reasonable values. Long + fixed offset of 8 will cover all Satoshis that can possibly exist. should be fine unless you're trying to express the world GDP in units of ZWL or something extreme like that
