Solution 3

To make solutions 1 and 2 more accurate:

Keyword "decimal" is the alias of the type System.Decimal in C#. In other words, "decimal" is specific to C# and is compiled as System.Decimal. As this is not a type but a keyword, it does not require namespace prefix, and it is not a subject of name conflict (in other words, you cannot use "decimal" as user identifier but can use "@decimal").
