! Aahz suggested the need of an explicit conversion from int, but also
! thinks it's OK if the precision in the current Context is not
! exceeded; in that case you raise ValueError.  Votes in
! comp.lang.python agreed with this.

! An int or long is a treated like a Decimal explicitly constructed from
! Decimal(str(x)) in the current context (meaning that the to-string rules
! for rounding are applied and the appropriate flags are set).  This
! guarantees that expressions like ``Decimal('1234567') + 13579`` match
! the mental model of ``Decimal('1234567') + Decimal('13579')``.  That
! model works because all integers are representable as strings without
! representation error.
