Method BigDecimal: precision too large. (ArgumentError)

[BurdetteLamar]

Doc for method BigDecimal says:

• ArgumentError:: If +initial+ is a Float, and the +digits+ is larger than

•             Float::DIG + 1, this exception is raised.
  

Is this true for other methods that have digits/ndigits?

No.

Do you know why the exception occurs in this condition?
