A summary of changes to ECMAScript decimal support, based on input from the committee in the last week or so:

• Operations (e.g., addition, subtraction, multiplication, ...) between 64-bit binary floating point and 128-bit decimal floating point quantities will proceed by first converting the 64-bit binary floating point number to 128-bit decimal floating point to the maximum required precision and then proceeding with the operation.  Previously the proposal was to convert the other way, resulting in a 64-bit binary result.
• “strict” equality operations (===, !==) will no longer return false when comparing two decimal values with different precisions (e.g., 1.10m and 1.1m)
• typeof(1.1m) is now "object" (was "decimal")

Output and a summary of the run of the small but growing unit test suite.
