The name Decimal64 is misleading because:

  • it is not decimal but rather a wrapped primitive double
  • it can be confused with IEEE754-2008 decimal64 encoding

As we may sometime in the future (this is a scratch I want to itch) redesign Dfp to implement IEEE754-2008 decimal formats (probably using the standardized decimal-k larger formats with k multiple of 32), it would be necessary to avoid future name clashes.
