Hmm. Thinking about this some more, I don't think this is true: format() shouldn't be throwing away significant information (in Decimal
the number of trailing zeros *is* significant information) unless that's
necessary to fit the result into the given precision.
So I think the current code is correct.
However, we could do with documenting the precise rules being used for
Decimal formatting somewhere.
