+I found that CSC allows values up to 2047 to be cast into a byte, any
+values bigger than that are flagged as an error, ie:
+
+const double d = 2047;
+byte b = (byte) b;
+
+I do not understand exactly the nature of the problem yet (when is a
+cast of a constant allowed in this case, and when not). 
+
+If this is a bug in CSC, the fix is very simple, the code lives in
+Mono.CSharp.Cast.TryReduce () (defined in expression.cs) and we just
+need to repeat the pattern for double and float that we do for the
+other integral types.
