Really?  What about

>>> float('１２３４．５６')
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
UnicodeEncodeError: 'decimal' codec can't encode character '\uff0e' in
position 4: invalid decimal Unicode string

.. and where do we draw the line?  Note that I am not against
Decimal() accepting any c with c.isdigit() returning True, but
builtins should be less promiscuous IMO.
