Subject: [ruby-core:60411] [ruby-trunk - Feature #9469] BigDecimal support for yaml serialization

Issue #9469 has been updated by Rafael Fran��a.


I think we can remove that custom yaml serialization from Rails and we don't need to put in upstream.

Looking in the history of that file I found it was added [6 years ago](https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/191ffc94568ca22885eac7001cae7fef452dcfdd) because at [that date BigDecimal doesn't support `to_yaml`](https://web.archive.org/web/20080828045844/http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/8746).

Since we already support it we can remove without any problem.

Feature #9469: BigDecimal support for yaml serialization

----------------------------------------
Given the following serialization methods in rails/rails: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/big_decimal/conversions.rb

I feel like these methods would be better supported in the upstream BigDecimal gem.

How do you feel like adding them @mrkn?
