[issue2482] Decimal(unicode)

[Oleg Broytmann]

New submission from Oleg Broytmann <phd at phd.pp.ru>:

Decimal(u'123').to_eng_string() returns unicode in Python 2.5.2. That's
probably due to the optimization in decimal module, after which decimal
stores coefficient (mantissa) as a str, and doesn't coerce input to str.
