Decimal vs Float comparasion

[Yuan HOng]

Hi,

It seems decimal object will always be larger than float in
comparasion, which goes against common sense:

>>> from decimal import Decimal
>>> a = Decimal('0.5')
>>> a > 99999
False
>>> a > 99999.0
True

It seems to me that rather than allowing this to happen, comparasion
between the two should either be made correct (by convertion decimal
to float e.g.) or forbidden, like arithmatic operations between the
two types.
