+Summary: integer literals for "small" integer types (byte)
+
+MCS doesn't handle integer literals correctly.
+
+Const.LookupConstantValue() always gets an IntLiteral/UIntLiteral
+expression instead of a ByteLiteral etc. one.
+
+To reproduce, try
+
+	private const Byte MyByte1 = 42;
+
+I've added some debugging output to const.c around line 150:
+
+	Console.WriteLine ("CONSTANT: " + Location + " " + 
+FieldBuilder.FieldType + " " + Expr + " " + ConstantValue + " " + 
+ConstantValue.GetType ());
+
+	FieldBuilder.SetConstant (ConstantValue);
+
+this prints
+
+CONSTANT: c:\TEMP\martin\mcs\class\corlib\Test\System\ByteTest.cs: (17) 
+System.Byte IntLiteral (42) 42 System.Int32
+
+and raises an exception since you can't assign a System.Int32 to a 
+System.Byte constant.
