working with example on page 14 of tut1.pdf.
here is the code,
var x : int32 = 1.int32
var y : int8 = int8 ('a')
var z : float = 2.5
var sum : int = int (x) + int (y) + int (z)
echo sum
on compiling the following errror is seen
$ nim compile int.nim

what is missing in one's understanding about 'int' data type in nim ?
what does the compiler mean by '\--use system.int or unknown.int' ?
the compiler doesn't accept it as an option.
Is this to be specified as an option ? where ?
