[X#3] Unexpected behaviour calling a typed method with parameter int

[hpetriffer]

The following code

	var test1 := TestClass{}
	var x := test1.TestMethod(nil, nil)

	var test2 := (usual)TestClass{}
	var y := test2.TestMethod(nil, nil)

	Console.WriteLine("Result: " + x.ToString() + ", " + y.ToString())
	Console.ReadLine()

results to an output Result: 0, 30

In this case I expect an compile error or at least a warning. If not changing something in a typed call, can result to an unexpected behaviour.

This happens because the implicit conversion from NIL to INT returns a value of 0.
In the second example we are reading the defaults from the parameters,

I could produce a compiler error in the first case because the literal NIL cannot be an INT. Is that what you want?
Or alternatively when there is a default value for the parameter replace the NIL with the default?

The second example was changed in x# 3: a NIL in the late bound argument list gets converted to the default value of a parameter.
We could also roll back that change, but I am sure that others would like to keep that behavior.

i would prefer an compiler error
