Hmm, I never noticed that. At this point, I think changing the formatting for any types would break code, so we should just change the documentation to reflect how currently works.

I think the alignment for Decimal does need to be changed, though. It currently left-aligns by default (my fault: I just blindly followed PEP 3101 without thinking too hard about it). I'd like to fix this for 3.2 and 2.7; I'm not sure whether it's too disruptive to fix it in 3.1 and 2.6.
