Ah I see! It sounds exactly like `number_format`. Sure, this might make =
sense. To me, this seems worth supporting.


BTW,
```
$bcNum =3D new BcNum('1234567890123456789.23456789=E2=80=99);
```

When I saw this, I thought that the behavior when $scale is omitted is =
that in addition to the option of "using the global setting value", =
there is also the option of "counting the length of `$num` and storing =
all `$num`=E2=80=9D. In other words, it does not use any global =
settings.

Which of these do you think is better?

Regards.
