+Summary: Incorrect code generation of numeric literals and functions arguments.
+
+By default numeric literals get boxed as Double's. When used aside a method
+call that expects a different type as input argument the invocation fails.
+
+For an example see test case.
+
+In that test case, isFinite's signature is:
+
+[Microsoft.JScript]Microsoft.JScript.GlobalObject::isFinite(float64)
+
+it expects a float64 as argument.
+
+As the numeric literal that receives as parameter is boxed to Double the
+invocation causes the runtime to fail. jsc generates a conversion operation
+(conv.r8) instead of the boxing.
+
+We must ensure that every method argument get converted to the proper type
+corresponding to the formal parameter.
