Comment:

 Accepting per Aymeric's proposal on the mailing list:

 Currently `DecimalField` accepts `max_digits` and `decimal_places`
 options. I think it should accept a decimal context and delegate all
 operations to that context.

 I suggest the following behavior:
 - start with the decimal context provided in a kwarg to `DecimalField` or,
 if there is None, the current context returned by `getcontext()`.
 - modify that context to take into account `max_digits` and
 `decimal_places`
 - ask the context to perform whatever operations we need
