[issue22194] access to cdecimal / libmpdec API

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

For the record, we have realized that pure C code brought less than a 2x speedup compared to straightforward Python code, so cdecimal support has become a low-priority concern for Numba. For the curious, the C code is from libmpdec's own benchmark (Web site seems down at the moment) and the Python code is here: https://gist.github.com/pitrou/9eb2a5651b99f2e3c4ce
