--- Comment #27 from hariharan.gcc at gmail dot com ---
I encountered a similar problem with -Wconversion. This option is useless if it
would warn for cases like

short int i;
i += 5;

I concede Andrew's point about this being technically a place to warn, but in
practice, i would like for it to warn only when the target is a "smaller" than
any of the inputs.
