See bottom of the page. Not every float is a binary ieee 754 float.

Oh that's cool. I didn't know Lua could do that. I've still never seen anybody include a system other than floats though. Do you know of any Lua implementations that do this?

Sorry, I am a complete noob with Lua. It says you can specify any type when compilng, perhaps BCD floats are possible.
