It looks like if you pass in a context, the Decimal constructor still
ignores that context:
>>> import decimal as d
>>> d.getcontext().prec = 4
>>> d.Decimal("1.2345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890000",
d.getcontext())
Decimal("1.2345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890000")
>>>
I think this is contrary to what some here have claimed (that you
could pass an explicit context to cause it to round according to the
context's precision).
