Dear Ulrich, please can you explain why this is "non-standard". With respect to
which standard? Is _Decimal64 standard?
Also, if someone provides changes to scanf/printf based on functions already
existing in libbid or libdecnumber (currently used internally by gcc) for
conversions between strings and decimal formats, would them be included in glibc?
