Agreed that getting any substantial change into Python is going to be
a bit of pain for anyone with commit access, but I'm don't think
getting a C implementation of an existing module in is going to be
anywhere near as difficult as getting a whole new library accepted
(and one that introduces a new somewhat dodgy C library dependency at
that).

Sure. But it would be cool to have a C implementation of Decimal in
standard Python. :)
