Not sure it would introduce any ABI issue or not? Especially the function name mangling for _Decimal* types, or maybe we could just implement the interchanged floating point type (_FloatN) part to C++ is fine? I am happy to implement that if it's an acceptable way to go, and I guess it could be used when GCC implements P1467 in future.
