@fabioromano1 I'm asking because, as discussed in the past, your efforts on this PR would make less sense to integrate in the platform without the `BigDecimal.nthRoot()` going in parallel in the same release (hopefully JDK 26).

Have you a sense of how much effort would be required for `BigDecimal.nthRoot()`, on a scale XS, S, M, L, XL?
