      • Neil made short work of this substantial project and it is nearly complete. This is currently pending a release of our BSON package, for which the team is discussing logistics.
      • There may be some additional minor testing and fixes to address after updating the underlying package, but we don't anticipate much more work - setting end date to next friday.

      Both Ruby and MongoDB offer high precision decimal types: BigDecimal and Decimal128, respectively. Currently BigDecimal is serialized as a string rather than Decimal128, because the types are not 100% identical. This epic encompasses figuring out how to better integrate BigDecimal and Decimal128, and implementing said integration.

      To be decided:

      • Should there be separate types exposed by Mongoid for BigDecimal-serialized-as-string and BigDecimal-serialized-as-Decimal128?
      • Should there be a global config setting to specify that BigDecimals should be serialized as Decimal128s or strings?
      • Should some of the support be provided by the driver rather than entirely by Mongoid?
