I assumed that for values to be equal they must have either the same type or
the type of one value must be a base type of the type of the other value.
Therefore, clearly

(string)5 != (decimal)5.0 

but

(anySimpleType)5 = (string)5 = (byte)5 = (decimal)5.000 = ...

which makes sense and should be valid.
