1. [New comment] Conversion from Ironpython's Decimal to System.Decimal loses precision.

User jdhardy has commented on the issue:

"<p>@vernondcole: I agree, mostly. There are a couple of cases (decimal is one, uuid is another, and there are probably more) where being able to implicitly convert pure-Python types to .NET types would be very useful.</p><p>There are basically two ways to do that: bake knowledge of the Python types into IronPython, create a custom extension point that allows Python types to somehow say "convert me to this .NET type", or define a few more hooks like __int__ and __float__. The first is a pain to maintain, but there's a relatively small set of types that it would apply to; the second is more flexible, but I have no idea how it would look right now; the third option is probably my favourite right now.</p"
