//! Decimal functionality and extension traits.
//!
//! This module provides DecimalLexEncoder, a variable-length, lexicographic
//! byte encoding for fastnum::D128 values. The encoding ensures that
//! byte-wise ordering preserves numeric ordering, which is critical for key
//! construction in indexes. The encoder is stream-friendly: it guarantees an
//! in-band terminator within the mantissa encoding and appends a trailing 0x00
//! so decoders can read until the first zero when values are concatenated in
//! composite keys.
//!
//! Where it’s used:
//! - val::number::Number::{as_decimal_buf, from_decimal_buf}
//! - key::value::StoreKeyNumber serde impls used in index key material
//!
//! Ordering overview:
//! - Finite negatives < zero < finite positives
//! - −∞ < all finite < +∞ < NaN
//!
//! See the struct-level documentation below for the precise byte format.

/// Variable-length lexicographic encoding for D128 values that preserves sort
/// order.
///
/// This encoder converts D128 values into byte sequences that maintain the same
/// lexicographic ordering as the original decimal values. This is crucial for
/// database indexing where byte-level comparison must match numeric comparison.
///
/// ## Encoding Format
///
/// The encoding uses a variable-length format optimized for lexicographic
/// ordering:
///
/// ### Zero Values
/// - Zero is encoded as a single byte: `0x80`
/// - This ensures zero sorts between negative and positive numbers
///
/// ### Non-Zero Values
/// The format consists of:
/// 1. **Class/marker byte** (1 byte):
///    - `0x80` Zero
///    - `0x40` Finite negative
///    - `0xA0` Finite positive
///    - `0x20` Negative infinity
///    - `0xC0` Positive infinity
///    - `0xFF` NaN
///
/// 2. **Biased scale** (2 bytes, big-endian):
///    - We bias the "scale" (not the raw exponent). Scale is defined as: `scale = exponent +
///      (digit_count - 1)`, i.e., the position of the most-significant digit in a
///      scientific-notation sense.
///    - Stored as: `biased = scale + EXP_BIAS` (unsigned 16-bit)
///    - For negative numbers: stored as `0xFFFF - biased` (one's complement) to reverse order
///    - EXP_BIAS = 6144. With D128, `exponent ∈ [-6143, +6144]` and `digit_count ∈ [1, 34]`, so
///      `scale ∈ [-6143, 6177]`, which maps into `[1, 12321]` after biasing, well within `u16`.
///
/// 3. **Packed digit representation** (variable length):
///    - Digits are taken from the absolute value's base-10 representation
///    - Each pair of digits is packed into one byte (4 bits per digit)
///    - For positive numbers: stored as-is
///    - For negative numbers: all bytes are bitwise complemented to reverse ordering
///    - Termination: encoding stops when a nibble equals `0x0`. This naturally handles both odd and
///      even digit counts: • odd count: the last byte has a low nibble of 0 • even count: an extra
///      full terminator byte is appended (0x00 for positives, 0xFF for negatives)
///
/// Because a terminator is always present within (or immediately after) the
/// mantissa, any trailing type-marker byte appended by higher layers will never
/// be consumed by the mantissa decoder.
///
/// ## Properties
/// - Preserves lexicographic ordering: if `a < b` then `encode(a) < encode(b)`
/// - Variable length encoding (3+ bytes typical: 1 sign + 2 scale + packed digits)
/// - Handles full D128 range including extreme values
/// - Uses packed digit encoding for efficient storage (2 digits per byte)
