Description

Try this:

class Foo {

static void main(args)

{ args = 0 println(args.class) assert args instanceof Integer }

}

In plain English, reassigning to the args parameter does nothing. I think it should either fail w/ exception (if it is illegal to assign to this (or all?) parameters) or make the assignment, not silently ignore it.
