Rob, there has been a *lot* of discussion about this for Decimal (see
the PEP and discussions in python-dev and python-list around the PEP
date).
The main issue here is what means the user if he calls MPF(2.3):
a) MPF("2.3")
b) MPF("2.2999999999999998")
The difficult of the choice is that a) is maybe what she expects, b)
is the value value (so why not to think she expects the real value?)
