Hello Simon,
    Well.. sadly.. how realistic is this ? No offense meant to anyone, 
but, gmpy has been around since (at least) python 2.4 (perhaps earlier ? 
not sure 100%) and it still hasn't been accepted in. I do agree that 
fixing Decimal at a fundamental level would be MUCH nicer, but, the BDFL 
(Guido) seems to not be moving on it. That bug was opened on 2008-03 .. 
over a year ago.

    I think that the quickest (no pun intended) is to fix it in the 
adaptor if possible. Jst my 2c :)

    Regards
    Stef
