After writing my 10,000th check to ensure a decimal argument is greater than or equal to zero, I wondered:

Wouldn’t it be easier to create a custom decimal struct that enforces this rule, much like uint?

After looking at the Decimal.cs source, I’m having second guesses.

There’s a lot going on in there, and it’s not hard to imagine baking this into an application – and then finding some critical problem.

Are there any libraries out there that have already done this?

Or, are there reasons this is a terrible idea?

Thanks!
