I support this.  Changing the behaviour silently is definitely a no-go,
but I'm all for breaking code with wrong or questionable behaviour.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure how likely it is to convince W & A about
this one... they have previously shown resistance to changing char to
int promotion rules, even though it has caused grief elsewhere.
