Yes, because of the integral promotion of `c` to `int`.

I think it's telling the programmer that something strange is happening here.
Yes, it's well-defined because of integral promotions, but it still looks like
suspect code. We could say "width of the unpromoted type" but that might make
the diagnostic more confusing for non-language lawyer folks.
