The type demotion is PR45397/PR47477 among other PRs.
I'd just walk from the narrowing integer conversion stmts recursively
through the def stmts, see if they can be narrowed, note it, and finally if
everything or significant portion of the stmts can be demoted (if not all,
with some narrowing integer conversion stmt inserted), do it all together.
