I think the obvious solution there is to use a suffix instead of a prefix for Decimal literals: i.e. `3.14d`. that said, I think this train of thought probably ought to get its own thread.

Edit: There seems to already be one here: [Literals for Decimal and Fraction](https://discuss.python.org/t/literals-for-decimal-and-fraction/63423)
