MVEL Jira related: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MVEL-262

MVEL does not show the correct value for BigDecimal instances, like:

BigDecimal ale = 500.01B;
System.out.println(ale);

The result is: 500

BigDecimal should invoke toString, like any Java instance to show values of variables instead of .intValue().

The same happens to show result of arithmetic operations btw BigDecimals:
BigDecimal test = new BigDecimal("50000");
System.out.println(test / new BigDecimal("1.13"));

The result is:
44247

... instead of 44247.78761061946902654867256637168.

Anyway, the internal representation is correct, only the method invoked to show the values is wrong.

The result for:
System.out.println( (test / new BigDecimal("1.13")) == 44247.78761061946902654867256637168B)

is true.
