xlc only supports HFP and BFP "natively" via the float compiler option, so

The C/C++ compiler has builtins for both packed decimal and decimal
floating point. If you were feeling adventurous you could write bindings
for both. Lua supports meta-methods so you can do the equivalent of C++
operator overloading
http://lua-users.org/wiki/MetamethodsTutorial.
There is a decNumber wrapper for big decimal numbers but that's software
emulation which is slow
https://chiselapp.com/user/e/repository/ldecNumber/index. It's a good
template which could be easily reused for decimal floating point.

This is likely a silly question. Does lua4z use HFP (zArch) or BFP (IEEE)
floating point? If I had to guess, I'd _guess_ HFP.
I'd surely hope so. HFP is *so* 20th Century!
