I think we have another problem.
We do not warn by default for:
int x;
unsigned *p;
p = &x;
Isn't that a conformance issue because the pointers are incompatible,
requiring a diagnostic?
Furthermore, Unlike the char case, this tends to introduce
strict-aliasing violations, so there is a good reason to treat this
variant as an error (even if we would only warn for char * and
unsigned char *).
