That particular money package actually is very simple, it just 
implemented a fixed-point data type, and that's also what I need. 
(Ahh, even such a small thing is hard to find in dub, and this 
one is the most downloaded package in its kind with dub score 
4.0).


The other decimal package actually looks pretty decent:

but, right now it has compilation and test errors:

(sigh ..., suppose I want to use D in my work, how I can convince 
my company to use it if I cannot even get my personal hobby 
project done in D?)
