+Construction from non-finite values (e.g. `std::numeric_limits<double>::quiet_NaN()`) will yield the same non-finite value in the resulting decimal value.
+Overflow or underflow will construct infinity or 0.

 NOTE: Due to the differences in decimal and binary floating point numbers there may be a difference in the resulting representation in decimal format, and thus it is not recommended to construct from binary floating point numbers
