Whoa. This needs more discussion with respect to the decimal module. I'm not ready to throw-out operator access to the methods provided by the spec. Also, I do not want the Py2.x decimal module releases to be complexified and slowed-down by Py3.0 deprecation warnings. The module is already slow and has ease-of-use issues.
