+# Decimal (`lyng.decimal`)
+
+`lyng.decimal` adds an arbitrary-precision decimal type to Lyng as a normal library module.
+
+Import it when you need decimal arithmetic that should not inherit `Real`'s binary floating-point behavior:
+
+```lyng
+import lyng.decimal
+```
+
+## What `BigDecimal` Is For
+
+Use `BigDecimal` when values are fundamentally decimal:
+
+- money
+- human-entered quantities
+- exact decimal text
+- predictable decimal rounding
+- user-facing formatting and tests
+
+Do not use it just because a number has a fractional part. `Real` is still the right type for ordinary double-precision numeric work.
+
+## Creating Decimal Values
+
+There are three supported conversions:
+
+```lyng
+import lyng.decimal
+
+val a = 1.d
+val b = 2.2.d
+val c = "2.2".d
+
+assertEquals("1", a.toStringExpanded())
+assertEquals("2.2", b.toStringExpanded())
+assertEquals("2.2", c.toStringExpanded())
+```
+
+The three forms mean different things:
+
+- `1.d`: convert `Int -> BigDecimal`
+- `2.2.d`: convert `Real -> BigDecimal`
+- `"2.2".d`: parse exact decimal text
+
+That distinction is intentional.
+
+### `Real.d` vs `"..." .d`
+
+`Real.d` preserves the current `Real` value. It does not pretend the source code was exact decimal text.
+
+```lyng
+import lyng.decimal
+
+assertEquals("0.30000000000000004", (0.1 + 0.2).d.toStringExpanded())
+assertEquals("0.3", "0.3".d.toStringExpanded())
+```
+
+This follows the "minimal confusion" rule:
+
+- if you start from a `Real`, you get a decimal representation of that `Real`
+- if you want exact decimal source text, use a `String`
+
+## Factory Functions
+
+The explicit factory methods are:
+
+```lyng
+import lyng.decimal
+
+BigDecimal.fromInt(10)
+BigDecimal.fromReal(2.5)
+BigDecimal.fromString("12.34")
+```
+
+These are equivalent to the conversion-property forms, but sometimes clearer in APIs or generated code.
+
+## Core Operations
+
+`BigDecimal` supports:
+
+- `+`
+- `-`
+- `*`
+- `/`
+- `%`
+- unary `-`
+- comparison operators
+- equality operators
+
+Examples:
+
+```lyng
+import lyng.decimal
+
+assertEquals("3.75", ("1.5".d + "2.25".d).toStringExpanded())
+assertEquals("1.25", ("2.5".d - "1.25".d).toStringExpanded())
+assertEquals("3.0", ("1.5".d * 2.d).toStringExpanded())
+assertEquals("0.5", (1.d / 2.d).toStringExpanded())
+assert("2.0".d > "1.5".d)
+assert("2.0".d == 2.d)
+```
+
+## Interoperability With `Int` and `Real`
+
+The decimal module registers mixed-operand operator bridges so both sides read naturally:
+
+```lyng
+import lyng.decimal
+
+assertEquals(3.d, 1 + 2.d)
+assertEquals(3.d, 2.d + 1)
+assertEquals(1.5.d, 1.d + 0.5)
+assertEquals(1.5.d, 0.5 + 1.d)
+assert(2 == 2.d)
+assert(3 > 2.d)
+```
+
+Without this registration mechanism, only the cases directly implemented on the left-hand class would work. The bridge fills the gap for expressions such as `Int + BigDecimal` and `Real + BigDecimal`.
+
+See [OperatorInterop.md](OperatorInterop.md) for the generic mechanism behind that.
+
+## String Representation
+
+Use `toStringExpanded()` when you want plain decimal output without scientific notation:
+
+```lyng
+import lyng.decimal
+
+assertEquals("12.34", "12.34".d.toStringExpanded())
+```
+
+This is the recommended representation for:
+
+- tests
+- user-visible diagnostics
+- decimal formatting checks
+
+## Conversions Back To Built-ins
+
+```lyng
+import lyng.decimal
+
+assertEquals(2, "2.9".d.toInt())
+assertEquals(2.9, "2.9".d.toReal())
+```
+
+Use `toReal()` only when you are willing to return to binary floating-point semantics.
+
+## Division Context
+
+Division is the operation where precision and rounding matter most.
+
+By default, decimal division uses:
+
+- precision: `34` significant digits
+- rounding: `HalfEven`
+
+Example:
+
+```lyng
+import lyng.decimal
+
+assertEquals("0.3333333333333333333333333333333333", (1.d / 3.d).toStringExpanded())
+assertEquals("0.6666666666666666666666666666666667", ("2".d / 3.d).toStringExpanded())
+```
+
+## `withDecimalContext(...)`
+
+Use `withDecimalContext(...)` to override decimal division rules inside a block:
+
+```lyng
+import lyng.decimal
+
+assertEquals(
+    "0.3333333333",
+    withDecimalContext(10) { (1.d / 3.d).toStringExpanded() }
+)
+```
+
+You can also pass an explicit context object:
+
+```lyng
+import lyng.decimal
+
+val ctx = DecimalContext(6, DecimalRounding.HalfAwayFromZero)
+assertEquals("0.666667", withDecimalContext(ctx) { ("2".d / 3.d).toStringExpanded() })
+```
+
+The context is dynamic and local to the block. After the block exits, the previous context is restored.
+
+## Rounding Modes
+
+Available rounding modes:
+
+- `HalfEven`
+- `HalfAwayFromZero`
+- `HalfTowardsZero`
+- `Ceiling`
+- `Floor`
+- `AwayFromZero`
+- `TowardsZero`
+
+Tie example at precision `2`:
+
+```lyng
+import lyng.decimal
+
+assertEquals("0.12", withDecimalContext(2, DecimalRounding.HalfEven) { (1.d / 8.d).toStringExpanded() })
+assertEquals("0.13", withDecimalContext(2, DecimalRounding.HalfAwayFromZero) { (1.d / 8.d).toStringExpanded() })
+assertEquals("0.12", withDecimalContext(2, DecimalRounding.HalfTowardsZero) { (1.d / 8.d).toStringExpanded() })
+assertEquals("0.13", withDecimalContext(2, DecimalRounding.Ceiling) { (1.d / 8.d).toStringExpanded() })
+assertEquals("0.12", withDecimalContext(2, DecimalRounding.Floor) { (1.d / 8.d).toStringExpanded() })
+```
+
+Negative values follow the same named policy in the obvious direction:
+
+```lyng
+import lyng.decimal
+
+assertEquals("-0.13", withDecimalContext(2, DecimalRounding.HalfAwayFromZero) { (-1.d / 8.d).toStringExpanded() })
+assertEquals("-0.12", withDecimalContext(2, DecimalRounding.HalfTowardsZero) { (-1.d / 8.d).toStringExpanded() })
+```
+
+## Recommended Usage Rules
+
+If you care about exact decimal source text:
+
+```lyng
+"12.34".d
+```
+
+If you intentionally convert an existing binary floating-point value:
+
+```lyng
+someReal.d
+```
+
+If you want local control over division:
+
+```lyng
+withDecimalContext(precision, rounding) { ... }
+```
+
+If you want custom mixed operators for your own type, follow the same pattern as Decimal and use the operator registry:
+
+- define the operators on your own class
+- choose a common class
+- register mixed operand bridges
+
+See [OperatorInterop.md](OperatorInterop.md).

+# Operator Interop Registry
+
+`lyng.operators` provides a runtime registry for mixed-class binary operators.
+
+Import it when you want expressions such as:
+
+- `1 + MyType(...)`
+- `2 < MyType(...)`
+- `3 == MyType(...)`
+
+to work without modifying the built-in `Int` or `Real` classes.
+
+```lyng
+import lyng.operators
+```
+
+## Why This Exists
+
+If your class defines:
+
+```lyng
+class Amount(val value: Int) {
+    fun plus(other: Amount) = Amount(value + other.value)
+}
+```
+
+then:
+
+```lyng
+Amount(1) + Amount(2)
+```
+
+works, because the left operand already knows how to add another `Amount`.
+
+But:
+
+```lyng
+1 + Amount(2)
+```
+
+does not naturally work, because `Int` has not been rewritten to know about `Amount`.
+
+The operator interop registry solves exactly that problem.
+
+## Mental Model
+
+Registration describes a mixed pair:
+
+- left class `L`
+- right class `R`
+- common class `C`
+
+When Lyng sees `L op R`, it:
+
+1. converts `L -> C`
+2. converts `R -> C`
+3. evaluates the operator as `C op C`
+
+So the registry is a bridge, not a separate arithmetic engine.
+
+## API
+
+```lyng
+OperatorInterop.register(
+    leftClass,
+    rightClass,
+    commonClass,
+    operators,
+    leftToCommon,
+    rightToCommon
+)
+```
+
+Parameters:
+
+- `leftClass`: original left operand class
+- `rightClass`: original right operand class
+- `commonClass`: class that will actually execute the operator methods
+- `operators`: list of operators enabled for this pair
+- `leftToCommon`: conversion from left operand to common class
+- `rightToCommon`: conversion from right operand to common class
+
+## Supported Operators
+
+`BinaryOperator` values:
+
+- `Plus`
+- `Minus`
+- `Mul`
+- `Div`
+- `Mod`
+- `Compare`
+- `Equals`
+
+Meaning:
+
+- `Compare` enables `<`, `<=`, `>`, `>=`, and `<=>`
+- `Equals` enables `==` and `!=`
+
+## Minimal Working Example
+
+```lyng
+package test.decimalbox
+import lyng.operators
+
+class DecimalBox(val value: Int) {
+    fun plus(other: DecimalBox) = DecimalBox(value + other.value)
+    fun minus(other: DecimalBox) = DecimalBox(value - other.value)
+    fun mul(other: DecimalBox) = DecimalBox(value * other.value)
+    fun div(other: DecimalBox) = DecimalBox(value / other.value)
+    fun mod(other: DecimalBox) = DecimalBox(value % other.value)
+    fun compareTo(other: DecimalBox) = value <=> other.value
+}
+
+OperatorInterop.register(
+    Int,
+    DecimalBox,
+    DecimalBox,
+    [
+        BinaryOperator.Plus,
+        BinaryOperator.Minus,
+        BinaryOperator.Mul,
+        BinaryOperator.Div,
+        BinaryOperator.Mod,
+        BinaryOperator.Compare,
+        BinaryOperator.Equals
+    ],
+    { x: Int -> DecimalBox(x) },
+    { x: DecimalBox -> x }
+)
+```
+
+Then:
+
+```lyng
+import test.decimalbox
+
+assertEquals(DecimalBox(3), 1 + DecimalBox(2))
+assertEquals(DecimalBox(1), 3 - DecimalBox(2))
+assertEquals(DecimalBox(8), 4 * DecimalBox(2))
+assertEquals(DecimalBox(4), 8 / DecimalBox(2))
+assertEquals(DecimalBox(1), 7 % DecimalBox(2))
+assert(1 < DecimalBox(2))
+assert(2 <= DecimalBox(2))
+assert(3 > DecimalBox(2))
+assert(2 == DecimalBox(2))
+assert(2 != DecimalBox(3))
+```
+
+## How Decimal Uses It
+
+`lyng.decimal` uses this same mechanism so that:
+
+```lyng
+import lyng.decimal
+
+1 + 2.d
+0.5 + 1.d
+2 == 2.d
+3 > 2.d
+```
+
+work naturally even though `Int` and `Real` themselves were not edited to know `BigDecimal`.
+
+The shape is:
+
+- `leftClass = Int` or `Real`
+- `rightClass = BigDecimal`
+- `commonClass = BigDecimal`
+- convert built-ins into `BigDecimal`
+- leave `BigDecimal` values unchanged
+
+## Step-By-Step Pattern For Your Own Type
+
+### 1. Pick the common class
+
+Choose one class that will be the actual arithmetic domain.
+
+For numeric-like types, that is usually your own class:
+
+```lyng
+class Rational(...)
+```
+
+### 2. Implement operators on that class
+
+The common class should define the operations you plan to register.
+
+Example:
+
+```lyng
+class Rational(val num: Int, val den: Int) {
+    fun plus(other: Rational) = Rational(num * other.den + other.num * den, den * other.den)
+    fun minus(other: Rational) = Rational(num * other.den - other.num * den, den * other.den)
+    fun mul(other: Rational) = Rational(num * other.num, den * other.den)
+    fun div(other: Rational) = Rational(num * other.den, den * other.num)
+    fun compareTo(other: Rational) = (num * other.den) <=> (other.num * den)
+
+    static fun fromInt(value: Int) = Rational(value, 1)
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Register the mixed pair
+
+```lyng
+import lyng.operators
+
+OperatorInterop.register(
+    Int,
+    Rational,
+    Rational,
+    [
+        BinaryOperator.Plus,
+        BinaryOperator.Minus,
+        BinaryOperator.Mul,
+        BinaryOperator.Div,
+        BinaryOperator.Compare,
+        BinaryOperator.Equals
+    ],
+    { x: Int -> Rational.fromInt(x) },
+    { x: Rational -> x }
+)
+```
+
+### 4. Use it
+
+```lyng
+assertEquals(Rational(3, 2), 1 + Rational(1, 2))
+assert(Rational(3, 2) == Rational(3, 2))
+assert(2 > Rational(3, 2))
+```
+
+## Registering More Than One Built-in Type
+
+If you want both `Int + MyType` and `Real + MyType`, register both pairs explicitly:
+
+```lyng
+OperatorInterop.register(
+    Int,
+    MyType,
+    MyType,
+    [BinaryOperator.Plus, BinaryOperator.Compare, BinaryOperator.Equals],
+    { x: Int -> MyType.fromInt(x) },
+    { x: MyType -> x }
+)
+
+OperatorInterop.register(
+    Real,
+    MyType,
+    MyType,
+    [BinaryOperator.Plus, BinaryOperator.Compare, BinaryOperator.Equals],
+    { x: Real -> MyType.fromReal(x) },
+    { x: MyType -> x }
+)
+```
+
+Each mixed pair is independent.
+
+## Pure Lyng Registration
+
+This mechanism is intentionally useful from pure Lyng code, not only from Kotlin-backed modules.
+
+That means you can:
+
+- declare a class in Lyng
+- define its operators in Lyng
+- register mixed operand bridges in Lyng
+
+without touching compiler internals.
+
+## Where To Register
+
+Register once during module initialization.
+
+Top-level module code is a good place:
+
+```lyng
+package my.rational
+import lyng.operators
+
+class Rational(...)
+
+OperatorInterop.register(...)
+```
+
+That keeps registration close to the type declaration and makes importing the module enough to activate the interop.
+
+## What Registration Does Not Do
+
+The registry does not:
+
+- invent operators your common class does not implement
+- change the original `Int`, `Real`, or other built-ins
+- automatically cover every class pair
+- replace normal method overload resolution when the left-hand class already knows what to do
+
+It only teaches Lyng how to bridge a specific mixed pair into a common class for the listed operators.
+
+## Recommended Design Rules
+
+If you want interop to feel natural:
+
+- choose one obvious common class
+- make conversions explicit and unsurprising
+- implement `compareTo` if you want ordering operators
+- register `Equals` whenever mixed equality should work
+- keep the registered operator list minimal and accurate
+
+For decimal-like semantics, also read [Decimal.md](Decimal.md).

 ## Language Features

+### Decimal Arithmetic Module (`lyng.decimal`)
+Lyng now ships a first-class decimal module built as a regular extension library rather than a deep core special case.
+
+It provides:
+
+- `BigDecimal`
+- convenient `.d` conversions from `Int`, `Real`, and `String`
+- mixed arithmetic with `Int` and `Real`
+- local division precision and rounding control via `withDecimalContext(...)`
+
+```lyng
+import lyng.decimal
+
+assertEquals("3", (1 + 2.d).toStringExpanded())
+assertEquals("0.30000000000000004", (0.1 + 0.2).d.toStringExpanded())
+assertEquals("0.3", "0.3".d.toStringExpanded())
+
+assertEquals(
+    "0.3333333333",
+    withDecimalContext(10) { (1.d / 3.d).toStringExpanded() }
+)
+```
+
+The distinction between `Real -> Decimal` and exact decimal parsing is explicit by design:
+
+- `2.2.d` converts the current `Real` value
+- `"2.2".d` parses exact decimal text
+
+See [Decimal](Decimal.md).
+
+### Binary Operator Interop Registry
+Lyng now provides a general mechanism for mixed binary operators through `lyng.operators`.
+
+This solves cases like:
+
+- `Int + MyType`
+- `Real < MyType`
+- `Int == MyType`
+
+without requiring changes to built-in classes.
+
+```lyng
+import lyng.operators
+
+class DecimalBox(val value: Int) {
+    fun plus(other: DecimalBox) = DecimalBox(value + other.value)
+    fun compareTo(other: DecimalBox) = value <=> other.value
+}
+
+OperatorInterop.register(
+    Int,
+    DecimalBox,
+    DecimalBox,
+    [BinaryOperator.Plus, BinaryOperator.Compare, BinaryOperator.Equals],
+    { x: Int -> DecimalBox(x) },
+    { x: DecimalBox -> x }
+)
+
+assertEquals(DecimalBox(3), 1 + DecimalBox(2))
+assert(1 < DecimalBox(2))
+assert(2 == DecimalBox(2))
+```
+
+`lyng.decimal` uses this same mechanism internally to interoperate with `Int` and `Real`.
+
+See [Operator Interop Registry](OperatorInterop.md).
+
 ### Class Properties with Accessors
 Classes now support properties with custom `get()` and `set()` accessors. Properties in Lyng do **not** have automatic backing fields; they are pure accessors.

+ * `BigDecimal` is intended for decimal arithmetic where binary floating-point (`Real`) is the wrong tool:
+ * - money
+ * - human-entered decimal values
+ * - ratios that should round in decimal, not in binary
+ * - reproducible decimal formatting
+ *
+ * Creating values:
+ *
+ * - `1.d` converts `Int -> BigDecimal`
+ * - `2.2.d` converts `Real -> BigDecimal` by preserving the current IEEE-754 value
+ * - `"2.2".d` parses exact decimal text
+ * - `BigDecimal.fromInt(...)`, `fromReal(...)`, `fromString(...)` are explicit factory forms
+ *
+ * Important distinction:
+ *
+ * - `2.2.d` means "take the current `Real` value and convert it"
+ * - `"2.2".d` means "parse this exact decimal literal text"
+ *
+ * Therefore:
+ *
+ *     import lyng.decimal
+ *
+ *     2.2.d.toStringExpanded()
+ *     >>> "2.2"

+ *
+ *     "0.3".d.toStringExpanded()
+ *     >>> "0.3"
+ *
+ * Mixed arithmetic:
+ *
+ * `BigDecimal` defines its own operators against decimal-compatible values, and the decimal module also registers
+ * interop bridges so built-in left-hand operands work naturally:
+ *
+ *     import lyng.decimal
+ *
+ *     1.d + 2
+ *     >>> 3.d

+ *     1 + 2.d

+ *
+ *     0.5 + 1.d
+ *     >>> 1.5.d
+ *
+ * Precision and rounding:
+ *
+ * - division uses the default decimal context unless overridden
+ * - use `withDecimalContext(...)` to apply a local precision/rounding policy
+ *
+ * Exact decimal literal style:
+ *
+ * If you want the source text itself to be the decimal value, use a string:
+ *
+ *     "2.2".d
+ *
+ * That is the precise form. `2.2.d` remains a `Real -> BigDecimal` conversion by design.
