stronger type checking seems like a good idea to me in general.

I agree, but I don't really want to break lots of code all at once,
even if that code is being slightly more slack than it perhaps ought
to be :-)

Given that no-one has really objected to stronger type-checking here
_per se_, then I see two ways forward:

1. Treat this as a regression: fix it and cause errors upon bad
conversions, but risk breaking code.

2. Emit a warning in cases of converting "vector signed int" to
"vector unsigned int", etc., and state that the behaviour will change
to an error in a later version.

Thoughts?
