Int16(0) as? AnyObject // => nil
Int32(0) as? AnyObject // => nil
Int64(0) as? AnyObject // => nil

Expected Results:
Int16, Int32 and Int64 values should all be convertible to AnyObject as NSNumbers, just like Int values are.

Actual Results:
Int16, Int32 and Int64 values are not convertible to AnyObject.
