If you're after a particular string representation, you'll probably find that 
string formatting meets your needs.

Python 3.3.3 (default, Nov 24 2013, 14:34:37) 
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 5.0 (clang-500.2.79)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from decimal import Decimal
>>> x = Decimal('3.3')
>>> x
Decimal('3.3')
>>> "{:.4f}".format(x)  # string representation with 4 digits after the point.
'3.3000'

Reclosing this issue.  If you want to pursue your proposal, please open a 
separate issue for that rather than reopening this one.  Thanks!
