Surprising behavior casting BigInteger to int/long for constructor call
When I try the following code (on either Groovy 3.0.9 or Groovy 4.0.0-rc-2)
class I {
long v;
I(int i) {
v = i;
}
}
class L {
long v;
L(long l) {
v = l;
}
}
def a = new I(1G)
def b = new L(1G)
I get `Could not find matching constructor for: L(BigInteger)` when
trying to construct an `L`. The `I` is constructed without error.
Am I missing something or is this a bug?

Should I create an issue?

That does look a little weird, I'll have to delve deeper to understand
if there is a good reason.
As well as long, the same behavior is observed for short and byte (all
I checked) and also for 2.5.15.
Cheers, Paul.
