Do you use implicit operators in your CSharp code?

Implicit operators can be handy to simplify assignments in certain situations, but there's a catch.

And it's a pretty big catch!

Leveraging implicit operators for converting between different types can result in data loss! And the worst part is that as the caller, you won't even be informed of it by the compiler.

Accidental conversions leading to data loss or rounding down of information
Loss of resolution in captured data when automatically converting between types

They can be helpful, but you should be careful.
