> ConstantBootstraps.explicitCast behaves like a snippet of code in its specification. However, in the rest of the nominal spec, it incorrectly assumes a null `value` and a primitive `dstType` results in a ClassCastException instead of the zero value of that primitive type. This is inconsistent with that snippet and the actual code behavior.
>
> The specification is fixed, the test for `explicitCast` is merged into the main `ConstantBootstraps` test, and a new unit test case for `value = null` and `dstType = char.class` is added, verifying the outcome is `'u0000'`.
