* Fix issue where RUST_BIGDECIMAL_DEFAULT_PRECISION envvar would always
trigger a rebuild
* Fix issue where .neg() could be called on {signed-int}::MIN values
* Add implementions of Add/Sub/Mul/Div for primitive values
* Use 'proptest' crate to improve arithmetic testing

I'm aware but unfortunately that syntax was added after the Minimum Supported Rust Version (v1.43) of the 0.4.x version of this library (as can be seen from the failing tests). If there's another way around it I'd be curious but until then I'd prefer to wait until 0.5.0. |

yeah, I was aware that this would break MSRV, so it's understandable if you consider that a breaking change, I should have written something about it. As far as I know there isn't any other way to exclude a feature, but I'm far from an expert in these things. |

I guess it's also a breaking change to remove a feature, since someone might use it. |

I think with "json_serde" things won't compile, so people can't make the mistake for long. But I think I will be removing the feature sometime in the future, though I am afraid it will break a lot of projects at this point. People really should be pinning the version to "0.4.x" to avoid such surprises, I won't break it until 0.5.0. My thought process here is this numerical code shouldn't change much and I'd rather have very stable library which works with old compilers for reproducibility and constrained environment reasons. The only things I really miss in new versions is stabilized const functions, though cargo.toml compatibilities in dependencies are a pain too. |

It sounds wise to be very conservative in these types of crates :) |

As can be seen here: https://docs.rs/crate/bigdecimal/0.4.5/features
There is one feature that is named
serde-jsonand one that is namedserde_json.This is a tad confusing, so this pr uses the
dep:syntax to remove one of them.See here for documentation about the syntax: https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/features.html#optional-dependencies
