[Gambas-user] Wrong error message

 Yes, exactly.
 Sometimes it is convenient to "add" numbers this way.
 I just didn't see the trouble to write conversion functions CInt and CStr.

 I didn't understand why I got error message "Type mismatch: Wanted
Integer got String instead.",
 because I was using only Integer variables. Also error was unexpected as I
 didn't guess overflow to be possible... my bad. Basically error
message confused me more.

 I think better error message would be "Overflow" or "Internal
conversion error to Integer value",
 but as I said this is just minor bug.
