   Why is this library using `*inf.Dec` and relying on another SDK?
   
   1. The package state that it is in experimental stage
   2. The package does not support converting this back out to float32/float64
   3. Cassandra's official docs says that `decimal` maps to `int` or `float`. 
[Ref](https://cassandra.apache.org/doc/4.1/cassandra/cql/types.html#:~:text=below%20for%20details.-,decimal,Variable%2Dprecision%20decimal,-double)
   
   Why isn't it just mapping to a float64 and if the value is an integer, it's 
just a float with no scale? This library is making it far more complicated than 
it needs to be given that Cassandra only supports up to float64.
