#- > Should the following be true?::

#- >   hash(Decimal(25) == hash(25)
#- >   hash(Decimal.from_float(25.35) == hash(25.35)
#- >   hash(Decimal('-33.8')) == hash(-33.8)
#- 
#- Well, if Decimal(25) == 25, they'd better hash the same!  If 
#- not, then
#- what's the point?

Remember that you only can compare Decimal to ints or long, not float nor
string.

So, This way, hash() must *only* return the same value than the equivalent
integer.

I'm ok with this.
