I haven?t been able to figure out what problem there would be in allowing this, and haven?t located any earlier discussion of it. Is there something I overlooked? I know how to work around this, but it feels awkward and unnecessary since TRANSFER doesn?t care at all about the type of its first argument.

But it does care about how many bits are in the value. That is the rub.
