Description

Have a catetegory with

  public static Object asType(Byte p_byteSelf, Class<?> p_class)
  {
    //...
    return new MyClass(p_byteSelf);
  }

With Groovy 1.7.10 the script

  def v
  v = (byte)15 as MyClass  

worked fine.

With Groovy 1.8.3 a org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.typehandling.GroovyCastException is thrown.

Has the operator precedence been changed?
