Arbitrary-precision vectors with an exact decimal representation, avoiding the rounding surprises of binary floating point. Built on the 'mpdecimal' C library, arithmetic is governed by an explicit decimal context controlling precision, rounding, and signaling, and vectors integrate with 'vctrs' for use in data frames, 'tibble' objects, summaries, and common numeric workflows. Missing values, signed zeros, infinities, and not-a-number values are supported throughout. The arithmetic model follows Cowlishaw (2009) "General Decimal Arithmetic" <https://speleotrove.com/decimal/decarith.html>.
