Populate the specified `buffer` with the Binary Integer Decimal (BID) representation of the specified `decimal` value. The BID representations of `Decimal32`, `Decimal64`, and `Decimal128` require 4, 8, and 16 bytes respectively. The behavior is undefined unless `buffer` points to a contiguous sequence of at least `sizeof(decimal)` bytes. Note that the BID representation is defined in section 3.5 of IEEE 754‐2008.
