Hi Antoni,

a couple of nits and some thoughts.

                       here we usually add the function that gets
modified, you can look at other changelog entries as example.

Looking at 'convert' at c-convert.c:66 the INTEGER_TYPE case here looks
good, but given the set of casts we accept as input I guess we should
handle also POINTER_TYPE, BOOLEAN_TYPE and REAL_TYPE.  What do you think
about?

Hope it helps
