[issue15136] Decimal accepting Fraction

That depends. :-)  Certainly a new classmethod seems better to me than extending the constructor to allow Fractions.  I'm not convinced that there's a real need for this feature, though, especially given how easy it is do directly.

So I'm -1 on extending the constructor, -0 on adding a .from_fraction method.

I'm adding other decimally people to the nosy for their opinions.
