Yes.  Money too should return Decimal.  I don't think that it is
unreasonable for current PyGreSQL to require current Python in this
case, especially since it is easy to add the Decimal module to older
versions.

The problem is getting the C code to return Decimal.  That's one reason
that I want to move that processing into pg.py and pgdb.py.
