Summary: Incorrect Decimal-float behavior for += and *=
Initial Comment:
The += and *= operators have strange behavior when the
LHS is a Decimal and the RHS is a float (as of
2005-11-13 CVS decimal.py).
Example:
>>> d = Decimal('1.02')
>>> d += 2.1
>>> d
NotImplemented
A blatant violation of "Errors should never pass silently."
Also, a bad error description is produced for the *=
operator:
>>> d = Decimal('1.02')
>>> d *= 2.9
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int

The += and *= operations also give the same strange behavior
when the LHS is a Decimal and the RHS is str or unicode:
>>> d = Decimal("1.0")
>>> d += "5"
>>> d
NotImplemented
>>> d = Decimal("1.0")
>>> d *= "1.0"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int

Hmmm. __add__ returns NotImplemented which works with
classic classes, but not new-style classes. I wonder if
NotImplementedError is supposed to be raised for new-style
classes.
