Sorry if I missed this, but I didn't see a description in the PEP
of how Decimal numbers would convert to other types. If d is a
Decimal number, I assume int(d) is obvious and float(d) does the
best it can with double precision, right?
How about str(d)? I would hope that it uses exponential notation
only when necessary to preserve the number of significant digits.
Could we please have repr(d) use the string in the constructor
rather than the tuple form? That would be much easier to read.
So, for example:
>>> Decimal('12345')
Decimal('12345') # instead of Decimal((0, (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 0))
>>> _ * 10
Decimal('1.2345e1')
>>> Decimal('12345', 2)
Decimal('1.2e3')
>>> Decimal(1.1)
Decimal('1.100000000000000088817841970012523233890533447265625')
>>> Decimal(1.1, default_context=1)
Decimal('1.10000000')
