A test case for broken parameter-type inference
When a Basic function has a parameter without a specified type, its type is
automatically set to variant. However, passing an integer constant as the value
of such parameter makes its type integer rather than variant/integer.
This is a change in LO 7.0 beta1 compared to LO 6.4 and I'm pretty sure its a
bug.
I'm reporting it, because it actually broke some macros I use in production.
A document with a test-case macro is attached.
