[issue36622] Inconsistent exponent notation formatting

Seems this has tests at https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/830b43d03cc47a27a22a50d777f23c8e60820867/Lib/test/test_decimal.py#L941 . I also noticed the below. Considering this is the behavior from 2.7 is it a conscious design decision?

>>> '{:.5e}'.format(1.23457e+8)
'1.23457e+08'
>>> '{:.5e}'.format(decimal.Decimal(1.23457e+8))
'1.23457e+8'
