ScaleMetrics defines various metrics associated with the scale of a Decimal number. It is mainly used internally from code implementing the arithmetic operations of a Decimal.
The scale determines the number of fraction digits of the Decimal. The scale factor is the multiplier/divisor for conversions between the Decimal value and the unscaled long value underlying every Decimal.
Operations such as multiplyByScaleFactor(..) are defined here as separate methods to allow for compiler optimizations. Multiplications and divisions are for instance translated into shifts and adds by the compiler instead of the more expensive multiplication and division operations with non-constant long values.
ScaleMetrics also provides access to DecimalArithmetic instances for different rounding modes and overflow policies. DecimalArithmetic objects can be used to deal with Decimal numbers in their primitive form, meaning that Decimal numbers are passed to the arithmetic class as unscaled long values.
