All the real work is done in FLOAT_REPR -- so what is that? I'd expect
it to be something like:
def FLOAT_REPR(f, Precision=8):
format_str = "%%.%ig"%Precision
return format_str%f
If that's the case, then it would work with Decimals too, though the
specials check would probably need some adjustment.
