     Arbitrary Precision Numbers
 
     
-     The type numeric 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 numeric
-     type is very slow compared to the floating-point types described
-     in the next section.
