Sorry, I meant that it is almost magic that we only given an error/warning when
casting away qualifiers and not for other invalid conversions since the only
thing that we really know at the point of giving the warning/error is that a
conversion was reject.

Why such changes are not contributed back to FSF's GCC? I thought you would
know better... :-(
