Oh I didn't even noticed it was a signed/unsigned issue. I'm

whether or not it's a bug. But file it anyways and someone will

what to do with it.
I think the "issue" is that when you write "[1, 2]", that array
is still "weakly typed", and the compiler will implicitly cast it
to any type that will create a match. Once you've crammed it into
a variable though, it becomes explicitly typed, and the casts
become no-go.
It's kind of like how you can write:
wstring s = "hello!";
I dare say that the behavior is expected.
