* Immutable, arbitrary-precision signed decimal numbers. A {@code
* BigDecimal} consists of an arbitrary precision integer
* <i>{@linkplain unscaledValue() unscaled value}</i> and a 32-bit
* integer <i>{@linkplain scale() scale}</i>. If zero or positive,
* the scale is the number of digits to the right of the decimal
* point. If negative, the unscaled value of the number is multiplied
* by ten to the power of the negation of the scale. The value of the
* number represented by the {@code BigDecimal} is therefore
* integer <i>{@linkplain scale() scale}</i>. If the
* scale is zero or positive, the scale is the number of digits to
* the right of the decimal point. If the scale is negative, the
* unscaled value of the number is multiplied by ten to the power of
* the negation of the scale. The value of the number represented by
* the {@code BigDecimal} is therefore
* <code>(unscaledValue &times; 10<sup>-scale</sup>)</code>.
