[Bug libc/11476] New: support for printing/reading decimal numbers (_Decimal64)

["zimmerma+gcc at loria dot fr" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

as far as I know, the current glibc does not print/read decimal formats
(_Decimal64 for example). Is there any plan to support this?

Example code:
#include <stdio.h>

int
main()
{
  double d = 0.1;
  _Decimal64 e = 0.1;
  printf ("%.20f\n", d);
  printf ("%.20f\n", e);
}

gives:

tarte% gcc bug.c
tarte% ./a.out 
0.10000000000000000555
0.00000000000000000000

We expect 0.10000000000000000000 for the second output.
