I've to confess that I missed that; sounds good.

longobject.c still used PyUnicode_EncodeDecimal() until 10 months
ago (8304bd765bcf). I missed the PyUnicode_TransformDecimalToASCII()
commit, probably because #10557 is still open.
That's why I wouldn't like to implement the function myself at least
until the API is settled.
I see this in the new code:
#if 0
static PyObject *
unicode__decimal2ascii(PyObject *self)
{
return PyUnicode_TransformDecimalAndSpaceToASCII(self);
}
#endif
Will PyUnicode_TransformDecimalAndSpaceToASCII() be public?
