Describe the issue/change
In many currency-related use cases, a minimal decimal precision of 2 digits is common. This way, large numbers get displayed with two padded zeroes (i.e. $1,000,000.00) while small numbers support added precision of up-to n digits ($0.89765412 if n=8)
This functionality is not currently possible with this library due to fixedDecimalScale enforcing EXACTLY n digits of precision, while decimalScale provides only a MAXIMUM number of digits when used on its own
In a future release (since it would be a breaking change) we can probably remove
fixedDecimalScaleand use onlyminDecimalScaleanddecimalScaleto clamp the bounds of precision and satisfy every use caseExample usage (If applicable)
