Description
Currently, the java.text package does not contain a derivation of the
Format class for the Bignum class (e.g. BignumFormat) which allows
for the correct formatting and parsing of Bignum values.
The only way around this at present is to coerce Bignum's to doubles and
use the DecimalFormat class. The resulting number though can result
in a loss of precision.
