[issue29534] _decimal difference with _pydecimal

[Mark Dickinson]

Mark Dickinson added the comment:

BTW, as a user, I'd expect `Decimal.from_float` to simply coerce its input to float if given an input that isn't actually a float in the first place; the fact that it has special handling in place for int inputs (and that that special handling takes the form of an isinstance check, rather than something more duck-typed) is surprising.
