*value* can be an integer, string, tuple, :class:`float`, or another :class:`Decimal`
object. If no *value* is given, returns ``Decimal('0')``. If *value* is a
string, it should conform to the decimal numeric string syntax after leading
and trailing whitespace characters, as well as underscores throughout, are removed::

sign ::= '+' | '-'
digit ::= '0' | '1' | '2' | '3' | '4' | '5' | '6' | '7' | '8' | '9'
indicator ::= 'e' | 'E'
digits ::= digit [digit]...
decimal-part ::= digits '.' [digits] | ['.'] digits
exponent-part ::= indicator [sign] digits
infinity ::= 'Infinity' | 'Inf'
nan ::= 'NaN' [digits] | 'sNaN' [digits]
numeric-value ::= decimal-part [exponent-part] | infinity
numeric-string ::= [sign] numeric-value | [sign] nan
and trailing whitespace characters, as well as underscores throughout, are removed:

Here you can reference grammar term instead. Though, this may add a conflict with #128323, so - you can include that change here as well.
