Adding Decimal to the distribution is fine.  But using it by default
for floating point literals and other floating point results is a
different story.  The PEP about that hasn't really been discussed
enough to make a decision, but a conservative estimate is that this
change won't be made in 2.2.  So Decimal doesn't solve the problem the
tutorial has.
