The version number in the decimal module refers to the version of the
spec that is being complied with. I would like that version number
to remain in the module.
I mentioned this in my first post. If the version number of the spec
is important, shouldn't it be called something else?
I agree, especially if we need to issue a new version of the library
that implements the same spec. We couldn't upgrade __version__, since
it's used for the spec. There'd be no way to know (by inspection) if the
version of the library fixed a spec compliance issue.
