Stefan Krah added the comment:
I'm a little unsure what to do with the API, see also #15237:
1) I'm not too fond of the Capsule method, especially because
it *seems* possible to get at the symbols directly on Linux
and Windows (provided that they aren't static of course).
2) I would not like to spend time on it if we go ahead and
make decimal a builtin (double effort).
3) It's not clear whether users would not be served better by
using functions from libmpdec directly (much faster,
probably less error handling).
For 3) I've attached a draft that illustrates the issue.
