What prevents the creation of a decimal money type? I agree, it would be
nice if python could do something akin to calculator aritmetic with types
like scientific (covered) engineering (improper scientific with the exponent
as a power of 3 and the (oops, forgot the term - mantissa?) more then a
single digit as in 12.2e3), fixed precision (1..n to the right of the
decimal). The forthcoming fractions are going to be interesting... (chinese
interpretation).

Be nice too if math could do rads, grads and decimal degrees.

Just my $0.02 worth.
