+"""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.

Decimal) -> int:

Review comment:
       What about a bit simpler name? This could be `decimal_to_unscaled`. The 
"convert" is implied by being in `conversions` and "value" is unnecessary 
because this clearly returns a value.
