unexpected behavior in groovy compiler

[Sonny To]

int i = 1
i = "abc"

compiling the above code with groovyc did not give a compiler error as
expected.  it compiles but does not run.
Caught: org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.typehandling.GroovyCastException:
Cannot cast object 'abc' with class 'java.lang.String' to class
'java.lang.Integer'
        at foo.run(foo.groovy:2)
        at foo.main(foo.groovy)


Is this a bug or a feature? Seems like a bug to me because the
compiler should realize that i has been given declared as an int.
