+"""Utility module for various conversions around PrimitiveType implementations
+
+This module enables:
+    - Converting partition strings to built-in python objects
+    - Converting a value to a byte buffer
+    - Converting a byte buffer to a value
+
+Note:
+    Conversion logic varies based on the PrimitiveType implementation. 
Therefore conversion functions
+    are defined here as generic functions using the @singledispatch decorator. 
For each PrimitiveType
+    implementation, a concrete function is registered for each generic 
conversion function. For PrimitiveType
+    implementations that share the same conversion logic, registrations can be 
stacked.

Review comment:
       When converting using the direct tuple construction, do we need to 
adjust the local context? According to [this intro to Decimal 
page](https://www.pythontutorial.net/advanced-python/python-decimal/), "Notice 
that the decimal context precision only affects the arithmetic operation, not 
the Decimal constructor".
   
   That means we should just be able to return the adjusted value with scale 0.
   
   Also, since we don't need to set the context precision, we don't need the 
decimal type at all. In fact, it doesn't make much sense to check the value 
against the type here either. I think this method could be focused on just 
getting the unscaled value and the checks can happen in the caller, if needed.
