Even though it is not generally possible to convert it back. In this case I'd rather keep it as the original type, because eventually I'll need to get it back to C#.\r\n\r\nI understand why the current behavior makes things easier, but it would be great if it was possible to disable or alter this behavior.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/rmadsen-ks","@type":"Person","name":"rmadsen-ks"},"datePublished":"2019-07-10T08:12:48.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":3},"url":"https://github.com/909/pythonnet/issues/909"}
