Raymond, do you want this to go into 2.7 as well? I'm assuming that we're not
going to allow mixed-type float+decimal operations in 2.7.
Also, if we're doing this, it seems to me that all the reasons you give for the
Decimal constructor

Added the requires decorator as requested.
Committed in r79602. Will backport to 2.7 this weekend.

redundant but there is no need to break working code. Also, it has the nice
property of being explicit about what it is doing.
Link to my proposal:

(Assuming “no place” means “no reason”) Apart from TOOTDI, there is
indeed none.
