Hi,

To be honest, I think it would be much easier to use if we could make it loo=
k like this:

- Use precision instead of scale
- The default maximum precision is 20 digits
- The default rounding mode is HALF_UP
- The constructor takes only $num arguments
- The method can optionally specify any precision and any rounding mode when=
 calculating
- Operators always use only default values =E2=80=8B=E2=80=8Bin their calcul=
ations

However, BCMath has worked with scale for a long time, so I'm not sure that i=
ntroducing precision behavior here would be of any benefit to users...

Regards.

Saki=
