The patch is quite simple (just modify the relevant line
in lang.opts and update the docs).
-Wconversion-extra uncovers lots of things that people may not want to
see a warning about, such as i8=i4.
We had a lengthy discussion about this in 2015, with the current
implementation as the result.
See https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2015-05/msg00176.html and
followups for the discussions about this.
