Yup. I moved the cases where a warning was required to the front
end.

I'd prefer to do this before expand to expose as much information
as possible to the tree optimizers and to clean up switch expanding.
But for the moment I don't see how because we don't see on trees
that the index expression will be cast to a smaller type (and we
not yet have any bit propagation thing to catch the other examples
you give).
So I guess for now this will have to do :-/  At least your approach
is safe.

Thanks for looking into this,
