[ANN] Decimal Plugin 3.6

Decimal Plugin 3.6 stops most, if not all, memory leaks.

My freeware Decimal Plugin adds a new number type, Decimal, to Xojo. Decimal can handle big numbers whose size is only limited by available memory. Decimals can be freely mixed with Xojo’s numeric types. The Decimal type can exactly represent any finite decimal. One can think of a Decimal as two numbers (i, e), where i is an integer of any length, and e is of Integer type and is the exponent for base ten. That is:

(i, e) = i x 10^e

As an output form of a Decimal I’ve chosen a form used by the PostgreSQL database. So I use the name “scale” for the number of decimal places present in the output Decimal.
