Yes, that worries me a bit, too. I have the same worry with the idea
of rewriting the entire decimal module in C.
The Deccoeff type is very simple, though. It would be easy to create
a pure Python version of it, and then do something like:
try:
from _decimal import Deccoeff # try to get C version
except ImportError:
from deccoeff import Deccoeff # else use Python fallback code.
