+I suggest reopening the bug. See my atachment : the code compiles and
+works under csc, but not under cscc (mono 1.1.8.2 / .3) or mcs
+(Portable .Net).
+
+Problem is, according to ECMA, the compiler should look for possible
+implicit cast for an operator. CSCC checks only those returning a
+double, ignoring those providing a decimal. Try adding another
+implicit cast operator (to Decimal2) returning a double - CSCC will
+now compile the code, wheras it should now report a bug, because the
+code becames ambigious (there are 2 possible, equally specific
+implicit casts).
