Hi,

I thought about making a (doc) PR for installation. I thought it would work or might despite REQUIRE but see:

julia> Pkg.add("https://github.com/JuliaArbTypes/ArbDecimals.jl")
ERROR: `https://github.com/JuliaArbTypes/ArbDecimals.jl` is not a valid package name. Perhaps you meant `https://github.com/JuliaArbTypes/ArbDecimals`
The argument appears to be a URL or path, perhaps you meant `Pkg.add(url="...")` or `Pkg.add(path="...")`.

I'm guessing it might be easy to make work for 1.0+/1.6/1.10... but do you know otherwise? Or is it simply not a priority since redundant with other packages e.g. Dec64? I was just curious to try that package, not that I strictly need any Decimal package, though thinking of making my own, or rather rational/decimal/float combined type...

Nothing about the Arb C library is easy to make work in new ways.
