I think adding a new option Wconversion-after-promotion that covers all cases where the conversion occurs to the same type that was originally promoted from would be the most appropriate. I have a feeling that it should not be hard to implement, but I am not sure how, and I have many other things I would like to do first. So, please David, Wes, photon, give it a try. The code is in c-family/c-common.c (conversion_warning).
