Guys, if I know which magic numbers you are discussing, I believe they are intended to allow a "weight" to be assigned to the action of calling a given method(or constructor) with a given set of parameters: the smaller the weight, the more directly assignable the parameters are to the method being tested. We can thus determine, among several potential matching signatures, which matches the most closely and therefore which we expect the compiler would have decided was meant by an equivalent call made from actual source code. My apologies if I've completely missed the point of the discussion as I've only been following loosely.
