      <title>Arbitrary Precision Numbers</title>
  
      <para>
!      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.
