+Some of the hashing details are exposed through a new attribute,
+:attr:`sys.hash_info`, which describes the bit width of the hash value, the
+prime modulus, the hash values for *infinity* and *nan*, and the multiplier
+used for the imaginary part of a number:

 An early decision to limit the inter-operability of various numeric types has
 been relaxed.  It is still unsupported (and ill-advised) to have implicit
 mixing in arithmetic expressions such as ``Decimal('1.1') + float('1.1')``
