C#:

class M {
  public static void Main ()
  {
        ushort x = 2, y = 7;
        ushort z = x + y;
  }
}


-->

foo.cs(5,9): error CS0266: Cannot implicitly convert type `int' to
`ushort'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)


The reason is that computations on the stack are always performed with
precision of at least int.

class M { 
  static void Main () {
ushort x = ((ushort) 1) + ((ushort) 2);
}
}

compiles fine...
