Description

I would expect that range literal follow the same type promotion rules as arithmetic operations, yet:

assert (1+10).class == Integer   
assert (1L+10).class == Long 
assert (1+10L).class == Long 

assert (1..10).every { it.class == Integer  } 
assert (1L..10).every { it.class == Long } 
assert (1..10L).every { it.class == Integer } // <= weird
