[issue26223] decimal.to_eng_string() does not implement engineering notation in all cases.

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger added the comment:

The decimal module strives to exactly follow the spec even when our sensibilities suggest otherwise. Perhaps, we can add a note to the current docs describing the situation.  The API itself is a settled issue, that ship sailed a very long time ago (the problem with a standard library is that it becomes standard that people rely on and is hard to change after the fact without causing issues for users).
