Use Case

When Decimal128 is passed an integer rather than a string, instead of returning a type error, it seems to try and fail some copy operation. Either the input validation is incorrect or the error message is misleading.

Example:
Enterprise rs0 [direct: primary]> db.collection.find( { "value": Decimal128(12345.00) } )
TypeError: value.bytes.copy is not a function

Enterprise rs0 [direct: primary]> db.collection.find( { "value": Decimal128("12345.00") } )
[ { _id: 3, value: Decimal128("12345.00"), expType: 'Decimal128' } ]
