Why are explicit conversions between fixed-size bytes types and integer types failing?
======================================================================================
Since version 0.5.0 explicit conversions between fixed-size byte arrays and integers are only allowed,
if both types have the same size. This prevents unexpected behaviour when truncating or padding.
Such conversions are still possible, but intermediate casts are required that make the desired
truncation and padding convention explicit. See :ref:`types-conversion-elementary-types` for a full
explanation and examples.
Why can number literals not be converted to fixed-size bytes types?
