Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

It is known to be efficient to get a module state from an object directly rather than from a type. The same can go for the _decimal's context object (i.e. extending the PyDecContextObject struct).

Extending PyDecObject, which made no perf difference for me, seems to be a waste of memory with many objects.
