 NB: My justification for combinding the RVA and constant data into one
 pointer is that the spec says a variable can declare "optionally
 either a <fieldInit> form or a data label". So, they are mutually
 exclusive.

+Make the test return a non-zero value from Main if it fails.
+It's also a good rule to use different values when testing multiple
+cases like that: don't use the value '1' all the time.
+In cases like this, the test should check the boundary conditions,
+like: are signed and unsigned values handled correctly? The test
+doesn't show, so it doesn't inspire much confidence.
+That said, once you write a proper test case, commit it in mono/tests
+and commit the patch.
+And since you're working in this area: the spec says that the type of
+the constant may not match the type of the field. This means that the
+code was and remains incorrect: please write the test case in IL and
+change the code to handle this case.
