- The precision used when coercing a returned floating point value to

Python ``Decimal`` via string is now configurable.  The
flag ``decimal_return_scale`` is now supported by all :class:`.Numeric`
and :class:`.Float` types, which will ensure this many digits are taken
from the native floating point value when it is converted to string.
If not present, the type will make use of the value of ``.scale``, if
the type supports this setting and it is non-None.  Otherwise the original
default length of 10 is used. [ticket:2867]
