[Soilent (Konstantin x)]

Unlike other numerical classes, BigDecimal does not raise ArgumentError when I try to parse invalid value.

require 'bigdecimal'

BigDecimal('invalid value')
# => #<BigDecimal:7fe6f9a6a058,'0.0',9(9)>

Float('invalid value')
# ArgumentError: invalid value for Float(): "invalid value"

Integer('invalid value')
# ArgumentError: invalid value for Integer(): "invalid value"

Complex('invalid value')
# ArgumentError: invalid value for convert(): "invalid value"

Rational('invalid value')
# ArgumentError: invalid value for convert(): "invalid value"
