// Check that there is no loss of sign/precision in assignments, comparisons
// and multiplications.
//
// ConversionChecker uses path sensitive analysis to determine possible values
// of expressions. A warning is reported when:
// * a negative value is implicitly converted to an unsigned value in an
//   assignment, comparison or multiplication.
// * assignment / initialization when the source value is greater than the max
//   value of the target integer type
// * assignment / initialization when the source integer is above the range
//   where the target floating point type can represent all integers
//
// Many compilers and tools have similar checks that are based on semantic
// analysis. Those checks are sound but have poor precision. ConversionChecker
// is an alternative to those checks.
