I think you lost all sense of proportion here.  The decimal module is obliged 
to follow the decimal spec (that is its reason for existence).

The decimal module docs are already create a heavy mental load and their 
usability would not be improved shifting focus to corner case inconsistencies 
between types that haven't proven to be an issue in practice.  If you were to 
go write a blog post about 0**0 versus Decimal(0)**0, I think you would find 
that no one cares.
