+!!! warning
+    There is a fallback implementation of this method that calls `precision`
+    and `setprecision`, but it should no longer be relied on. Instead, you
+    should define the 3-argument form directly in a way that uses `ScopedValue`,
+    or recommend that callers use `ScopedValue` and `@with` themselves.

 !!! compat "Julia 1.8"
     The `base` keyword requires at least Julia 1.8.
