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

User vernondcole has commented on the issue:
"<p>I am wondering about the statement "Python decimal is a pure Python
type that IronPython doesn't (and shouldn't) know the details of." <br>
I think that may no longer be quite correct. As of Python 3.3, CPython has
decimal library functions written in C, which are reported to speed up some
decimal operations by a factor of 100. While I am sure that the Python
implementation of the Decimal module will continue to work, it seems that
someday, some brave soul will venture to make a C# translation of the new
version so that IronPython can continue to hold its head up in the performance
department.<br> In any case "practicality beats purity" probably
should apply here, along with "There should be one-- and preferably only
one --obvious way to do it." The obvious way is using a direct assignment
statement. That should work. and with no surprises. To me, it seems that
IronPython should know a great deal about the details of Python -- that's what
it's for.</p><p><br></p"
