Hm. Thanks for the heads up.
Now how about
byte &= int
is there any good reason why the result type of that isn't error?
Well, if 'int' represents a literal, or a manifest constant, they are not
exactly ints. When the compiler can tell that the result of the operation
will fit into a byte, it allows it to go through. I believe when it can't
tell, it should error, but &= may be a special case, I'm not sure.
