   int -> ulong -> UIntPtr 
 
 _cannot_ be performed.
 
 (Note that there are standard explicit conversions from constants to
 uint and ulong, depending on the value of the constant)

+MS csc generates the following code:
+
+  .locals init (int32 V_0,
+           native unsigned int V_1)
+  IL_0000:  ldc.i4.2
+  IL_0001:  stloc.0
+  IL_0002:  ldloc.0
+  IL_0003:  conv.i8
+  IL_0004:  call       native unsigned int [mscorlib]
+System.UIntPtr::op_Explicit(unsigned int64)
+  IL_0009:  stloc.1
+
+That is int -> ulong -> UIntPtr conversion.
+
+There are some other undocumented behaviors of C# compiler that are 
+copied from MS csc and I don't think that allowing this conversion 
+breaks anything or produces unreliable code.
