You mean adding a method to the context, to create a Decimal using itself as context and not the one from the thread? If yes, what about c.createdecimal(number) ? And with floats? c.createdecimalfromfloat(number)? Or the same method that before?

+1 on Context.create_decimal(float) and Context.create_decimal(string) (okay, so it's really just one method that takes two input types).

The name just fits my brain. The fact that it uses the context is obvious from the fact that it's Context method.
