It would be possible to translate strings to integers; the infrastructure
is already there for pickling. The decision not to do that was actually
deliberate: Up to now no one has requested string constants for rounding
modes and I *suspect* that there's a performance penalty even though I
didn't measure it.
See Modules/_decimal/_decimal.c:1211 for the code that would need to
be called each time something like this occurs:
context.rounding = ROUND_UP
