Slice union type puts exception

Help & Support
1

Is this a bug? puts exception occurs only when I have union slice type

a = Slice(Int32|UInt8).new(4)
a[0] = 1
a[1] = 2
puts a     #=> exception

OP:

Slice[1, 2, Unhandled exception: Arithmetic overflow (OverflowError)

Sure looks like a bug. I suppose the issue is that the overload Slice.new(Int) should not be acceptable for a union of primitive types.
