I mean such cases as
unsigned int i;
switch (i) { case 123456123456ULL: ... }
where the label is outside the range of unsigned int, but after conversion
to the promoted type (which is just unsigned int again) it is within
range. Not cases where the conversion of case labels to the promoted type
has no effect, or where it changes them but they are still out of range of
the original type after than conversion.
