+Summary: Type error on initialisers of jagged arrays
+
+Description of Problem:
+When initialising jagged arrays, the compiler tries to cast the 
+elements of a (for example) int [][] to ints, rather than the 
+int[] expected.
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. int [][] jArray = { new int [] {1}};
+2. compile above line, complete example attached
+
+Actual Results:
+"error CS0029: Cannot convert implicitly from `int[]' to `int'
+
+Expected Results:
+no error
+
+Additional Information:
+The compiler happily compiles
+int [][] array = { 1 } ;
+which, unsurprisingly, gets runtime errors on access.
