Rather that complicating the Context constructor, I'd prefer a separate factory function. I was thinking of something like:
def IEEEContext(n):
"""Return the decimal<n> IEEE 754 context. n should be a multiple
of 32."""
...
Again, it's clear with this that you get a new context object (I agree that there are problems with (1) and the mutability of Contexts).
