Being the main author of Wconversion, I do agree with this sentiment. You'll
see there is a patch there to alleviate this issue, but I couldn't manage to
get it approved and now I don't have the time to invest on this issue. If you
want to see this fixed, your best option is to adopt the patch, update it, test
it and try to get it approved. Comparisons with how Clang and other compilers
behave would be useful but they should not be the basis of your argumentation.
When arguing for a change, try to be smart and see the point of view of the
other side and address that convincingly.
