Review comment:
       Perhaps `decimal()` and `decimal256` could call the same function for 
argument checking, e.g. 
   
   ```r
   check_decimal_args <- function(precision, scale) {
     precision <- vec_cast(precision, to = integer())
     vec_assert(precision, size = 1L)
   
     scale <- vec_cast(scale, to = integer())
     vec_assert(scale, size = 1L)
   
     list(precision = precision, scale = scale)
   }
   
   #' @rdname data-type
   #' @export
   decimal <- function(precision, scale) {
     args <- check_decimal_args(precision, scale)
     Decimal128Type__initialize(args$precision, args$scale)
   }
   
   #' @rdname data-type
   #' @export
   decimal256 <- function(precision, scale) {
     args <- check_decimal_args(precision, scale)
     Decimal256Type__initialize(args$precision, args$scale)
   }
   ```
