I don't really feel that strongly either way, either. I understand Nick's arguments, but can't help feeling that we're letting a doc mistake dictate the API here. (And my inner type-system has an aversion to APIs where arguments are expected to be either None or of type/interface XXX.) So colour me -0 on changing cdecimal to allow the 'None' argument.
