Comment:

 It's a good idea if you suspect you don't understand. However, I think
 your example of casting inconsistency should also posted on the list; the
 error raised during the assignment should be consistent. The choice to
 raise an error in the first place is a design decision, and I think fairly
 recent, but probably a good thing as having floats silently cast to
 integers is asking for unnoticed bugs. And it does need to be cast since
 the lhs type is fixed and a new array is not dynamically allocated.
