It think is would suck to have to type those out.  Sorry, I think you're headed down the path of foolish consistency with an unrelated module and a more complicated topic.  What's wrong with keeping consistent the name of the existing functions: round, floor, and ceil which are self-explanatory and much better known than the decimal module constants.  Also, the intent for these to be substitutable for existing code which uses round(sqrt(x)), floor(sqrt(x)), and ceil(sqrt(x)).  If those are the starting point, then round, floor, and ceil are a logical progression from the existing code.  It is also consistent with how the numeric tower approaches various ways of rounding.
