It is based on integers, so it doesn't work with real numbers. You can still achieve what you want by splitting by ., checking how many decimals you have and multiply with 10^nr_of_decimals.

For example, let's assume that you have the following numbers:

["131.325", "1.32512521", "12453.31212"]

Let's assume that the maximum number of accepted decimals is 10, so you have the transformed list:
["1313250000000", "13251252100", "124533121200000"],
obtained by multiplying every number from the initial list with 10^10.

You can now add those and you get 125859622452100.

Then divide by 10^10 (or add a dot to the string representation 10 characters to the right) and you get the same result as adding the initial numbers: 12585.9622452100.

The only tricky part here is to make that assumption about the maximum number of accepted decimals. If this number is big enough and your initial number is real and has a finite number of decimals, then it should be possible to represent it.

Hope that this helps.

Closing this as there has been no activity and the use case is still not supported in the current version of the library
