I think the two main reasons that applied to not implementing the parsing part of PEP 515 for the Decimal type (speed, compliance with the IBM specification) don't apply to the formatting side. We do need to think about the implications of making local changes to our copy of the externally-maintained libmpdec library, though. Changing Python versions: this is a new feature, so could only go into Python 3.11.
