That's true, but I disagree with the intent. When interfacing with C, or
doing casting, it's up to you to get the right results into the variable to
satisfy the constraints of the type. Having the compiler essentially hide
bugs of this sort doesn't make it robust, it just defers the problem to
cropping up somewhere else.
