+## Notes on Decimal and it how relates to the numeric tower
+## --------------------------------------------------------
+## Decimal is Real except that it does not support rich comparisons.
+##
+## Decimal has some of the characteristics of Integrals.  It provides
+## logical operations but not as operators.  The logical operations only apply
+## to a subset of decimals (those that are non-negative, have a zero exponent,
+## and have digits that are only 0 or 1).  It does provide __long__() and
+## a three argument form of __pow__ that includes exactness guarantees.
+## It does not provide an __index__() method.
+##
+## Depending on context, decimal operations may be exact or inexact.
+##
+## When decimal is run in a context with small precision and automatic rounding,
+## it is Inexact.  See the "Floating point notes" section of the decimal docs
+## for an example of losing the associative and distributive properties of
+## addition.
+##
+## When decimal is used for high precision integer arithmetic, it is Exact.
+## When the decimal used as fixed-point, it is Exact.
+## When it is run with sufficient precision, it is Exact.
+## When the decimal.Inexact trap is set, decimal operations are Exact.
+## For an example, see the float_to_decimal() recipe in the "Decimal FAQ"
+## section of the docs -- it shows an how traps are used in conjunction
+## with variable precision to reliably achieve exact results.
