<title>Arbitrary Precision Numbers</title>

- The type <type>numeric</type> can store numbers of practically
- unlimited size and precision, while being able to store all
- numbers and carry out all calculations exactly. It is especially
- recommended for storing monetary amounts and other quantities
- where exactness is required. However, the <type>numeric</type>
- type is very slow compared to the floating-point types described
- in the next section.
