Note that this could lead to surprising behaviours, when doing these
comparations... Decimal("1.1")==1.1 will be true, buy maybe
Decimal("1.235445687")==1.235445687 will not (I didn't try if this
particular comparison will fail, but hope you get the idea).
This is why I suggested the other way... we now allow comparison to
integers, let's allow comparisons when the floats are equal to the
integers, and no more.
