Summary:                    Can't set the value of byte array element with index
not divisible by 4 without explicit cast.
Description: 
Code: 

using System;
using System.Console;

   def a = array(2) : array[Byte];
   a[1] = 42;
   WriteLine("a[1] = {0}", a[1]);

makes output: 
   a[1] = 0

If expression a[1] = 42 :> Byte; is used instead of one above the output
is 
   a[1] = 42

(The same thing with any other index not divisible by 4)

Bug in IL generation. Nemerle produce:
ldc.i4.s 42
stelem.i4 

But need:
ldc.i4.s 42
stelem.i1
