It's pretty hard to use a custom floating point representation that isn't supported as a primitive type. To make the matters worse even the standard binary floating point number doesn't map to JSON. E.g. +/- Inf and NaN don't have JSON representation.

We strive hard to provide intuitive user experience and abstract away the complexity of modern computing for non-technical users. At some point we might use a decimal floating point or better yet a fixed point decimal as the default representation for numbers.
