With the possible support for python and perl, you can perform just
about any calculation you would want to do.
For example:
:py print 31.25 * 3 = 93.75
or
:!perl -e 'print 14.275 * 2' = 28.55
Obviously you can get a lot more complicated than that.

it's necessary to add large decimal related algorithm into Vim to
solve this kind of problems? Or at least we should give out an error
message...
Or compile Vim with 64 bit ints.
I'm not sure it is worth adding code for big numbers, they are hardly
ever used. Vim also doesn't support floating point. One has to stop
somewhere. After all this is a text editor, not a spreadsheet.
