But I don't want to suppress the warning in general; it's a valuable
warning. I just want to be able to have a macro that takes an
arbitrarily sized int and compares it.

Thanks. I mistakenly searched Comments containing '"comparison is
always"' instead of 'comparison is always' :) or I would have found
that one.
It's interesting to note that the apparent ending point of the discussion
there is my starting point: that a cast should suppress the warning (but
I would hope not the optimization).
