Regression: compiler accepts invalid cast from int to Byte

    Description

      This program should be rejected:

      class Test {
      Byte b = (Byte) 0;
      }

      Instead, the compiler accepts it, starting from JDK 7 b112. The problem is likely to be related to the changes in cats conversion involving 292 (see 6979683).
