As it happens, the first C
In this case I disagree. The math module mostly wraps the C math library
and the bar should remain high for things to be added to it. Let this be
someone's opportunity to learn C (I guess not Chris's :-).

It should be written in C. I thought you knew. :-)
I guess it's okay to drop Decimal support (*). Complex support probably
should be in cmath.
But this is an amendmend to the PEP as accepted. If anyone cares about
these changes they should speak up, otherwise the PEP should be updated.

I'll edit the text as you suggest, and then work on a patch -
I think it's time to accept PEP 485. I've re-read it once more, and it
looks like the text is in great shape. (My only recommendation would be to
update the Abstract to state that we're specifically adding math.isclose().)
