Indeed, this is common to all languages/platforms that use IEEE-754 floating-point arithmetic. The decimal module is there for those cases where "close" isn't good enough - like when you want fixed precision because you're dealing with currency figures and there's no such thing as 3 ten-billionths of a cent.

@steve that would "correct" zero real-world issues.
I'd never heard the term "mantissa" before seeing its use in FP - I've never needed to use a logarithm lookup table! They are obsolete.
Terms in mathematics and computer science are often appropriated by analogy, and that's all that happened here. It seems like you object to this?
Please don't spend effort on something that "solves" a non-problem and would lead to more confusion.
