+I think we can't do the things you mention. Imagine you have
+
+ long LongVar = 0;
+
+Since 'long' and 'int' are not the same type, this initialization
+would be added in the .cctor. The same with other numerical types.
+
+I think this is a special case, and that only matters to cases where a
+boxing appears. We could need to test if the var type is class
+(IsClass) _and_ the var value is value type (IsValueType). I think
+this is better (and it's the logical idea: when boxing, which is
+assigning a value type to a class type, emit initializer even if the
+var value is a default constant).
