> Two main things we could update here:
>  # The general description of what the decimal type is and is for and/or a link to the C++ docs - in the details section, add some explanation of what an Arrow {{decimal()}} type is and why it is automatically mapped to an R {{double}} type
>  # Documentation of the params precision and scale.  We could add a bit more information to explain what that actually means to the user, as it's not immediately obvious.
