and if you write
let b = 2 + 0.5
2 is treated as a double. The type of the literal “2” varies with context. Do
you also find that inconsistent and confusing?

t is a Bool and there is no automatic conversion from Bool to Int.
true is not a Bool. It may be treated as a Bool depending upon context. In
the line `let t = true` it is treated as a Bool. In `let a = Int(true)` it is
treated as an NSNumber (assuming you import foundation).
