Hi,

As suggested in 5643125E(dot)1030605(at)joh(dot)to, here's a patch for extracting
the scale out of a numeric.

This is 2016-01 CF material, but if someone wants to bas^H^H^Hsay nice
things in the meanwhile, feel free.

This patch is pretty trivial without any possible issues, but I miss a use
case of this feature.

Why it should be in Postgres?

This was discussed in the original thread, and it seemed compelling
enough to me; there were no objections raised either. I couldn't find
any fault in the submitted patch, so pushed.

Thanks,
