docs: Returns a <code>BigDecimal</code> whose value is
  the minimum of <code>this</code> and <code>rhs</code>.
  <p>
  Returns the smaller of the current object and the first parameter.
  <p>
  If calling the {@link #compareTo(BigDecimal, MathContext)} method
  with the same parameters would return <code>-1</code> or
  <code>0</code>, then the result of calling the
  {@link #plus(MathContext)} method on the current object (using the
  same <code>MathContext</code> parameter) is returned.
  Otherwise, the result of calling the {@link #plus(MathContext)}
  method on the first parameter object (using the same
  <code>MathContext</code> parameter) is returned.
  
  @param  rhs The <code>BigDecimal</code> for the right hand side of
  the comparison.
  @param  set The <code>MathContext</code> arithmetic settings.
  @return     A <code>BigDecimal</code> whose value is
  the minimum of <code>this</code> and <code>rhs</code>.
