Yes, *because* it's a literal. The compiler can tell me it'll fail in the 
case where I lose precision with the literal.  But sure, that's a decent point.

In other words, it complains the same for passing 0.5.  :-)  It's a generic 
result of the rules of casting in the language. It should not hold for literals.
