Note that Antoine's point was that float("0.1") and Decimal.from_float(0.1) should compare equal.
That would mean that Decimal("0.1") != float("0.1"), which might be surprising to someone who didn't realise they were mixing floats and decimals.
Much like Fraction("0.1") != float("0.1") is surprising. The only way to get rid of surprises around float is to get rid of float, and that ain't happening. -- Adam Olsen, aka Rhamphoryncus
