Implement basic aritmetic operations for the Decimal128 datatype

Feature Request: Implement basic aritmetic operations (e.g. addition) for the Decimal128 datatype. Context: I am working with high precision floats in Python and I am storing my data in MongoDB. When I get a high precision float out of MongoDb, I then need to convert it to the native Python decimal datatype before I can do basic arithmetic like addition. It would be great if your Decimal128 datatype supported the same mathematical operations as Python's decmial datatype. I documented this issue and provided sample code to work around the limitations here: https://github.com/NadimGhaznavi/kb/wiki/Handling-Floating-Point-Math-with-Python-and-MongoDb Love your product, keep up the awesome work!!! :)
