Summary: decimal.Decimal("trash") produces informationless exception

>>> import decimal
>>> decimal.Decimal("-$123,456.78")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\python25\lib\decimal.py", line 614, in __new__
self._sign, self._int, self._exp = context._raise_error(ConversionSyntax)
File "C:\python25\lib\decimal.py", line 2325, in _raise_error
raise error, explanation
decimal.InvalidOperation
It should do something like float does ... better message, and show the
offending arg:
>>> float("-$123,456.78")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: invalid literal for float(): -$123,456.78
