Why not have decimal be represented as 2 64-bit ints at the engine level
Just to clarify this point, what's the formula to convert back and forth between a decimal and two integers? Are you thinking like scientific notation: decimal = coefficient * 10^exponent.
64 bits for the exponent seems excessive, and it might be nice to have more for the coefficient but maybe that doesn't matter too much.
