I'm -0.5 on both of these, with the caveat that if either gets done, both should be. Decimal() shouldn't be different from int() just because there's currently no way to express a Decimal literal; if Python 3.7 introduces such a literal, there'd be this weird rule difference that has to be maintained for backward compatibility, and has no justification left. (As a side point, I would be fully in favour of Decimal literals. I'd also be in favour of something like "from __future__ import fraction_literals" so 1/2 would evaluate to Fraction(1,2) rather than 0.5. Hence I'm inclined *not* to support underscores in Decimal().)
