Seems a fine idea. I don't have the time for a code review but I'll leave that up to you all.

Hi everybody!

In the Tracker Issue... http://bugs.python.org/issue1772851 ... Mark Dickinson came with a patch that alters in a very corner case how the hash is calculated to a long integer. This allows changes in Decimal that lead to a better hashing behaviour for big, big, really big numbers. The patch applies cleanly, all the tests pass ok (Mark also provided more tests for the hash function). I won't commit this right now; I'll delay the change for a couple of days in case somebody wants to take a look at it. Thanks! -- .
