ared as though by the compare
        operation.  If they are numerically equal then the left-hand operand
        is chosen as the result.  Otherwise the maximum (closer to positive
        infinity) of the two operands is chosen as the result.

        >>> ExtendedContext.max(Decimal('3'), Decimal('2'))
        Decimal('3')
        >>> ExtendedContext.max(Decimal('-10'), Decimal('3'))
        Decimal('3')
        >>> ExtendedContext.max(Decimal('1.0'), Decimal('1'))
        Decimal('1')
        >>> ExtendedContext.max(Decimal('7'), Decimal('NaN'))
        Decimal('7')
        >>> ExtendedContext.max(1, 2)
        Decimal('2')
        >>> ExtendedContext.max(Decimal(1), 2)
        Decimal('2')
        >>> ExtendedContext.max(1, Decimal(2))
        Decimal('2')
