[Python-Dev] Return type of round, floor, and ceil in 2.6

Well, as issue 1689 states, the backporting was commited by Jeffrey on
rev 5967 [2], so this is the time to understand if we want this or
not.

Personally, I'm -0.

I was involved in this because of Decimal, but I can grow some
__methods__ in it that can be in the trunk, unused, and when ported to
3k fit ok in the new infrastructure.
