What you can do so far:
* Control behavior with a Hook type a-la
std.experimental.checkedint
* Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division
* Construction from a strings and built-in number types
I think it would be clearer if the precision, the rounding mode,
and the error behavior were three separate parameters instead of
a single Hook. Predefined settings named "Abort", "Throw", and
"NoOp" would then be self-explanatory, and it wouldn't be
necessary to entirely rewrite them if you wanted precision of 10
or 20 decimal digits instead of 9 or wanted to use a different
rounding mode.
