As described in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal32_floating-point_format. The value of this is likely marginal, but might be useful in some scenarios:

  1. Memory constrained environments might benefit from the halving in size relative to decimal64.
  2. Since uint64 suffices for internal operations, it will likely be much faster than decimal64.
  3. 32-bit environments may benefit even more from the above two points.
