def self.require_bigdecimal_without_warning

And most people don't need these features.
But it's a false positive, since we enable bigdecimal depending features only if it's available.
Ruby-3.4+ prints a warning, if bigdecimal is required but not in the Gemfile.

	oldverb, $VERBOSE = $VERBOSE, nil
	require "bigdecimal"

	$VERBOSE = oldverb
