I think the two behaviors are orthogonal. People still need an option that
refines -Wconversion and allows silencing it for bit-fields. I will prefer if
this option is called -Wbitfield-conversion and the other proposal is called
something else (-Wbitfield-promotion ? -Wbitfield-shift ?).
But whoever does the implementation work, will decide the name.
