Right - they have been there ever since I started (in fact, I started
this entire project *because* of these warnings). You can get them on
x86, too, if you enable /Wp64.

Please feel free to fix any of them that you feel comfortable about.

It just doesn't implement truncation warnings between variables
of differently-sized integer types. This (typically) isn't undefined
behaviour: the C standard mandates very well what should happen for
these truncations. Warning about any and all truncations would
lead to incredible noise.

/Wp64 *only* works because they restrict themselves to int64->int32
warnings (essentially).
