"NotImplemented < 0" returns False, which is ok, but different from "c < None"

No, because NotImplemented and None are always the same: if this is
the problem Linux and Windows could be different but they would be
consistent with themselves (and Windows is not coherent with itself).


Bottom line: I can easily fix Decimal to handle this special case, the
point is that maybe we have a lower level bug here...
