Bug description:
This is rather a feature request. Look at below test:

[TestCase(10)] public void TestMethod(short a) { }

That looks quite valid at the first glance but it of cause failed. The right syntax is

[TestCase((short)10)] public void TestMethod(short a) { }

Same problem goes to float type and/or Values attribute.

Would it be possible for NUnit to have the TestCase and Values attributes to convert the type based on the method signature?
