Idiom #192 Declare a real variable with at least 20 digits

Declare a real variable a with at least 20 digits; if the type does not exist, issue an error at compile time.

(def a 1234567890.12345678901M)

decimal a = 1234567890.12345678901m;

  integer, parameter :: qp = selected_real_kind(20)
  real(kind=qp) :: a

import "math/big"

a, _, err := big.ParseFloat("123456789.123456789123465789", 10, 200, big.ToZero)
