Testing BigDecimal with Math.max versus BigDecimal.max

	#!/usr/bin/env groovy

	// Math.min and Math.max are dangerous with BigDecimal due to loss of precision when converting to float
	// We should be using BigDecimal.min and BigDecimal.max instead
	// Proof

	BigDecimal a = new BigDecimal('6270.30')
	BigDecimal b = new BigDecimal('6270.30')

	//Safe
