Summary description: Decimal adjustment from a single preamble setup

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------


`luanumbers` is a LuaLaTeX package for automatic decimal formatting across a 
document. It allows authors to declare a rounding and display policy once in the 
preamble, then apply it automatically to ordinary decimal literals in both prose 
and mathematics.

Unlike workflows that require every number to be wrapped in commands such as 
`\num{...}`, `luanumbers` lets most numbers remain in their natural LaTeX form. 
This makes it useful for revising long documents where the required precision 
may change during editing, review, or publication.

The package uses Lua-based decimal-string arithmetic, preserves integers by 
default, and includes safeguards for structural LaTeX content such as labels, 
references, file names, graphics coordinates, and protected commands or 
environments. Authors can also exclude selected sections, figures, tables, 
diagrams, or other objects from automatic processing.

For cases where automatic inference is not appropriate, `luanumbers` also 
provides explicit per-value formatting commands.
