method to remove zero digits from fraction in decimal

[Skaperen]

i have coded:

...
if number == int(number)
    number = int(number)
...

just like you suggested above in post #2. i was looking for something i could put in the print() call and eliminate those 2 lines. i always like shorter code as it make it easier to read (and faster to compile on Thursdays).

if i had been the one who implemented decimal, i would have included such a method. i don't know what i would have named it.

edit:

such a method would return the modified value, as Decimal objects are immutable.
