Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com> added the comment:

I was suggesting that it be deprecated on the grounds that:

(1) It's not part of the Decimal standard.
(2) It's not implemented for Python (binary) floats, so why implement
    it for decimal floats?
(3) It's severely use-case challenged.

It's a pure integer-based number-theoretic function that has no place in 
the Decimal module.
