On the other side in the bytecode it is very hard to differentiate between `byte`, `boolean`, `short`, `char` and `int`. `BytecodeLift` actually inserts an explicit `ConvOp` in the situations where the sub-int type detection failed and it needs to by adjusted on the fly. Explicit `ConvOp` works for conversions between primitive numeric types according to JLS, however `Interpreter` fails on `ConvOp` from and to booleans. `BytecodeGenerator` accepts such conversions (as Class-File API also directly supports conversions between all primitive types, see `CodeBuilder::conversion`).
