If the specification change

                  [...] If
2596      * {@code compareMagnitude(BigDecimal.ZERO) == 0}, then
2597      * {@code BigDecimal.ZERO} is returned.

is modified to something like "If this BigDecimal is numerically equal 
to zero, then BigDecimal.ZERO is returned." then the change will be 
ready to go back.
