Cannot apply multiple (implicit) conversions in assignment

[Richard Kolb]

Hello,

I would like to start a discussion on a little issue on double conversions
in Java.

Since Java 5 a simple boxing statement like this would fail :
Long l = 250;
And this passes :
Long l = 250L;

This has to do with the fact that a double conversion needs to take place :
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se8/html/jls-5.html#jls-5.2

For Java 9, is it possible to make the compiler clever enough to accept
double conversions in cases like these ?

thanks,
Richard.
