Add explanation of decimal literals and decimal pseudo-constants

[BillWagner]

Type of issue

Outdated article

Description

This article should include coverage of decimal literals (such as 12.34m). It should add that in C#, you can declare const decimal values. However, those are represented in IL as static readonly variables with the DecimalConstant attribute applied to them.

@BillWagner I see that I completely forgot to link the PR #43186 to this issue 🙏
This can be closed, sorry for the problem.

Hi! I'd like to work on this issue. Is it still open for contributions?

[BartoszKlonowski]

Hello @Andy-merhi, unfortunately this has already been addressed in #43186. But I didn't link it, hence this issue is still open.
But thank you for your interest!
You can always work on any other open issue that no one volunteered to or no one is assigned if you would still like to contribute.
