Description

In the following code

Byte b = 3
println(b.class)

b is an instanceof java.lang.Integer instead of java.lang.Byte

The type defined is not honored.
Currently the workaround is to define b as follows

Byte b = new Byte("3") // constructor with a String

FWIW you can now use casts to do conversions

Byte b = (Byte) 5

though we'll fix this issue soon
