Could we please have repr(d) use the string in the constructor rather than the tuple form? That would be much easier to read.

I'm not dead-set on using a tuple form, but I think it's more useful for someone trying to see the internals of a Decimal instance. The string form already contains all the necessary information to reconstruct a Decimal object (unlike floats).
