Stefan Krah <ste...@bytereef.org> added the comment:
The feature would be nice to have; however, if you choose the precision to
match the amount of available RAM things work (I have 8GB here, one word in the
coefficient has 19 digits for the 4 bit version):
>>> from decimal import *
>>> c = getcontext()
>>> c.prec = 8 * 2**30 // 64 * 19
>>> c.prec
2550136832
>>> i = Decimal(4)
>>> i / 2
Decimal('2')
So I wonder if we really need to do something here.
