Not true for equality comparison. That returns False regardless of 
value, just as order comparisons return what they do in 2.x regardless 
of value. I claim that the former is at least as bad as the latter for 
numbers.

3.x mixes type-based and value-based equality testing for Decimals and 
other numbers.
