New submission from Mark Dickinson:
The documentation for Decimal.remainder_near is incorrect. It states:
"If both are equally close, the one chosen will have the same sign as self."
That's incorrect: instead, the chosen remainder has the property that it makes
the corresponding quotient even rather than odd. E.g.,
>>> Decimal(25).remainder_near(Decimal(10))
Decimal('5')
>>> Decimal(35).remainder_near(Decimal(10))
Decimal('-5')
