ICE: translating unsupported cast: () (cast_other) -> uint (cast_integral)

[klutzy]

fn f<T>(v: T) -> T {
    v
}
fn main() {
    let _ = f(()) as uint;
}

error: internal compiler error: translating unsupported cast: () (cast_other) -> uint (cast_integral)

triage: still an issue.

Still an issue.

Smaller test case:

fn main() {
    let nil = ();
    let _t = nil as uint;
}

Cross-crate example:

a.rs:

#![crate_type = "lib"]

pub fn f<T>(_v: T) {
    let nil = ();
    let _t = nil as uint; // this should be an error here
}

b.rs:

extern crate a;

fn main() {
    a::f(1u8);
}

a.rs compiles without error, but calling a::f causes error.
